Kinder Drama

First off, Mindy, my Korean co-teacher told me that Dave and Matthew told there mom's I was scary. Yeah, me.. scary. So the next day I ask Dave and Matthew, along with the rest of Brown class, "Guys do you think Ashley Teacher is scary?" Edward, my favorite, laughed and said no and so did the rest of the class. Except Dave and Matthew. They just kind of stared at me with a look of either, "Oh no she found out we told our parents she was scary," or "Ahh what scary thing is she going to do to us?"

Well I told them that I was sorry if they thought that I was scary and that I would try and be better. However I can already tell my lack of being scary has become them walking all over me because I'm afraid if I yell at them at all I'll get a parent yelling at me. Dave also said that I threatened him with a piece of paper.

So a day after that Dave is still telling his mom and Mindy that I threatened him and that I'm scary. Mindy says that after my lunch she wanted me to come down and talk to Dave with her. I don't know why but I thought that his mom was going to be there too. So I'm hyping myself up thinking what I'm going to say and I find out it is just Dave, Mindy and me. I tell Dave that I'm sorry, again if he thought I was scary, and I told him that I would never threaten him. Mindy translated and Dave just kind of stared at me. Mindy kept talking to him and made him pinky swear me and give me a hug. I told him again that I was sorry, in Korean this time so he really knew, and then Mindy made me hug him again. Hugs get me. I started to cry. It's been a rough few weeks.

Moving on to todays drama which really is kind of a cute one. I was teaching my last kinder class, P.E. with Yale. I love Yale, hate P.E. We are all up in the playroom and as usual once they get up there they start running around like wild animals. I get them to go to the wall and we play their favorite game, Freeze. Which involved me saying go, them running around, and then I say freeze and obviously they freeze where they are.

Everything is going fine and dandy until I look over and see little cute sweet Eunice beating the crap out of Sean, who is my favorites in Yale. Ethan, who I also like, is also in the mix. So I yell at them and tell them to quit. Well the rest of the class the three of them in one partnership or another are just constantly hitting each other. I ask them what is going on and I get the blank stare I'm so used to getting from my Korean kids. I put Eunice in the baby chair for just blatantly not listening to me and then Rachel, there actual teacher, comes up to put stuff in their bags.

I ask her if something was going on with the three of them. She talks to Eunice and then the two boys and tells me that apparently Eunice really likes Ethan and Sean hit Ethan first. This made Eunice angry so she went and started to hit Sean. Sean also really likes Eunice. And that is what started the fighting. These kids are 5 years old and are already in crazy love triangle relationships. There is no hope for us.
