A Merry ガキ Christmas

Just now I had the worst class ever. I've never been so upset or disappointed. How can you ruin an easy fun Christmas class? I don't know but my freshmen English class seemed to do a good job of it. ガキ in English means brat. I mean like most of these kids I was a brat in high school. I feel for them. I hated taking my French classes back in high school. However, when Ms. L brought out the Christmas songs and fun activities, I sure as hell participated with the class. Well I demonstrated my authority to the class today by making the kid that spoke through the whole Christmas Carol come in front of the class and read the each line of the song aloud. He was really embarrassed and put his head down. Serves him right the little bastard. Better his head down than the kid chatting the whole class.
Last year I loved teaching my first year students. It was a lot of fun. This year these kids make me regret staying another year at this high school. They've been testing my patients recently so if they pull something like this again, I'll show them how boring and not fun my class can be. I can't believe I get away with the fun activities I do with these kids.
