So I'm in here a few days ago teaching my kids and doing what I do. My principal and VP come in and stand at the back to watch. A few minutes pass and I guess they felt they weren't getting enough attention so in the middle of us doing something, my black-hearted principal just starts addressing all the students in Korean. Ok, nevermind what I was doing, you go ahead. She stops talking and I awkwardly start again only to be interrupted once more by the black hearted one. She asks me to come in the hallway. Acutally, my VP is the one who asks me because I'm not good enough to be spoken directly to (seriouly, the woman will not speak directly to me and does so only through people. It's not a language thing either, she'll say things in English to my co-teacher right in front of me like, "Tell him I want a better lesson plan". Yes, she's that messed up).
Anyway, so I go outside and my principal (again, via my VP) tells me to clean the floor in my classroom. Ok, fine, I'll do that after the class. NO! RIGHT NOW! Wait, you want me to stop teaching and sweep the floor? No, of course not....................you have to MOP the floor! I clarify again; I should stop the lesson, go find a mop, fill up a bucket with water, move the desks and clean the floor right now?
YES!
I roll my eyes and say sure, I'll get right on it. I return to what I was doing. I told my co-teachers about this yesterday when we met for lunch and after they all looked at their feet one apologized, "This makes Koera look so bad." The other just deadpanned, "Principal is sick in the head."
YES!
Holy fuck.
