I think that that was as close to perfection as class 2-6 will ever get. I actually high-fived my co-teacher afterwards.

AT LAST!
Finally managed to shut Eun-Jong up! Told him that he had five chances, and every time I had to say his name, he lost a chance. When it got to five, the WHOLE class would be kept in from lunch for five minutes. He got up to three (seven minutes into class) before the rest of the class lost it and started screaming at him. Attention-seeking little ADHD monkey got the message and put his head down on his desk for most of the rest of the lesson, only perking up to read through the dialogue with the rest of the class, then slumping down again.

A response to a theoretical situation reflecting Korean family life
Me: if your apartment was on fire in a contained way that affected no other apartments in your block (had to change this from 'house' after too many arguments), and you could only save one thing, what would it be?
Gi-Hwan: My mother.
Me: What about your father? You wouldn't take him too?
Gi-Hwan: No, because he would be at work.
Good point.
Oh and just for the record, class with 2-6, while still moderately stressful, was actually what I would consider good! We got through all the work and only had to stay back 5 minutes after class ended and lunch started to wring three word answers out of two boys. Eun-Jong is still a nightmare (he spent ten minutes trying to hold the hand of the boy sitting next to him, got up and tried to walk out of the class 25 minutes in, and screeched like a hawk at the top of his voice) but I only had to tell him off three times which must be a new record. I think part of this is because it's become a bit of a class joke about how often I tell him off, so everytime I yell "EUN-JONG!", the rest of the class does it too at the top of their voices. Anyway, I now have no more classes today, so I'm going to try and study my Korean, classes for which are starting again this Saturday (10am - 12pm at the Cheongju YMCA)... and possibly watch an episode of Jersey Shore. teehee^^
