I don't have a low opinion for those students who are low level in speaking the English language. I ended the day with a student who is so in denial of their weaknesses. For some reason, I don't mind if this particular student gave me a poor evaluation. I don't need to beg and be a pleasant person for being disrespected. It is really a long day and a quick dropping by in mylot felt so relaxing. I guess I need to sleep and forget the bad day today. Good night, everyone!

I have a friend who is teaching in private classes and some of her children make the teaching so hard.
She complains but she has told me that it is a challenge for her to turn the weak students into strong ones.
I think it's the teacher's job to find a way and make students feel motivated to become better. It can be frustrating but I think you will make it eventually!

@besweet You said it right. That's the reason why I turned down the offer of having group class online.
I prefer to teach 1:1 class. I can't imagine how your friend teaches the students. I had tried this before. But the pay is not that high compared to teaching online.

Relax right now as much as you can and forget about Students like that.
Bad days do happen so let this one go by.
It can be hard to unwind but you can do it.
Go to the Sea that you tell us about you know the Beaches and then go home.

If you have a bit of Countryside or Trees near to you that is almost the same thing so you can calm down much quicker.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I am living in the mountainside of the Philippines. I managed to have a quick stroll in our town and roaming around the local park. I find it entertaining to look at the local people while sitting on the bench.

A tedious day maybe I can see that Shavkat.
You do so good and patient with the students who need special help.
Yes good night maybe?

when i critique a case colloquium like last Friday, the presentation turns out, as always, as the English 101 subject because the students have many errors especially in spelling and subject-verb agreement. i am not perfect, but i strive to be near-perfect.this is what i tell my students also

@ridingbet Actually, I was working in a local government agency in our city. The immediate boss is so incompetent, Nosebleed, my friend! I can't tolerate it.

@Shavkat yes it is indeed funny if you work as an English teacher or ESL teacher and your employer needs to be your student as well.
