my English sucks...

i have to vent...apologies in advance!

at work, i usually work with the ESL kids in the classroom. the other kids just chose to ignore the teacher therefore i care less to work with them. i was working the the ESL boys today and it was a bit frustrating because they tend to seek sympathy due to their weakness in English. there's another tutor that we all dislike, Ms. Lopez, who babies the ESL kids. she overheard me scolding the kids for not trying hard enough and blaming everything on their lack of understanding. they're quite capable , just never willing to pay attention. well she felt then it was necessary for her to hover and watch.

at some point, i got frustrated because the boys weren't really paying attention to me THUS not understanding me. Ms. Lopez had the nerve to tell me that (in a Spanish accent) 'maybe they don't understand your English'

WTF?!?!

yes, yes, i speak with such an FUCKING HARD ACCENT that you can't understand me! when 2 out of 3 kids understand me, its pretty damn good.

that's it. i don't want to go into too much. i actually think my English isn't that bad! but for future reference, if you don't understand me, apologies! that 30 minutes in kindergarten ESL apparently didn't help! my English sucks!!
