My December class

This is it, the final class of the year. I have taught a total of 10 classes this year, I didn't teach in March and April this year. I am enjoying the class so far, this is the first day of class. There are only 6 students in this class, 4 women and 2 men. Half of the women have the same name, Jen, so it should be easy for me to remember the names. 3 are older, one is planning on quitting her job in 4 years and then teach overseas and she will tutor or do volunteer work until then so she can have some TESL experience.

One will be finishing up a contract in about 6 months then will go to Turkey. The other older student will travel in several countries in South East Asia and teach or do volunteer work. I admire all 3 since they will seriously go overseas. Two are recent college graduates, one graduated in June and the other will graduate in 2 weeks and both would like to go to Korea or Thailand to teach in the next few months. The sixth student has a job he doesn't like and wants to go to Korea or South America to teach since in wants to get out of his job.

I will take next month off so I can travel with my mother and sisters and then I am scheduled to teach in San Francisco in February. I will make a decision by the end of this class, 2 more weekends, whether I will do the class in February or just quit teaching these classes. I got in trouble again last week for being over zealous in helping my students because a student in my August class called the company to complain that I had tried to help her with her test and I didn't get all of HER answers correct.
Grrrrrrr, I won't be helping any of my students in the future with the additional course they are allowed to take for free. I have made 2 changes this month to my class which I hope helps improve my students' marketability. I will let you know how it works out. I will also let you know if I will keep teaching. It would be weird not to have any classes either teaching ESL or TESL certification at all. I don't know what I will do with myself. Where will my life lead me to next?
