Recently I did not get along with Rebecca well. She started giving the kids corporal punishment. Although by definition, corporal punishment is defined as “more than 3 minimum of standing as a consequence”seems to be too rigid, as the only adult who stays in the classroom, I am really not comfortable hearing her explicitly saying, “If you do something again, you need to stand there as punishment.” For her, it is not even the concept of “timeout”. It is some method to thread the kids to listen to her.

However, with R’s help, I finally achieved Culture Day. We finished the display and the performance. What a big relief! I met some parents last night. They were all happy. That’s what I wanted to see. In this way, I am no longer threatened by Rebecca. At least, I can complete my duty as a kindergarten FT homeroom at the end of this July. I decided to rush back to Kaohsiung to meet Grace and Huan just for the reunion. Besides, I can kiss Machi and love him for these 1.5 days.

On the other hand, the good is Sally and Julia are accepted into the public school system. Also, a lot of people got accepted, so my teacher friends almost left there. However, Sally said that no matter what, the DNA belonging to I-Shou will stay alive all the time!
