Some of my intensive period students are the annoying “I’m being babysat and resent learning English” types. I’d be a little annoyed waking up on my vacation to study English in the morning, but they’ve been there two hours before seeing me, and making me angry doesn’t mean they get out of class any earlier.

I’m pretty lenient about students with food in class as long as they are responsible to clean up after themselves. As long as there is no mess, or smell, I don’t care if you eat between classes. Of course, these students threw garbage and food containers on the floor on day one, so they got their food rights revoked. “I’m not a garbage man, go eat outside from now on.”

Students like this love to think of “clever” solutions to problems. Instead of eating outside, or not eating until after my class, the students bought the exact same food, then hid the wrappers behind a window shade. I know WHO buys the food. I know WHAT class they are in. I know WHEN they have class, and the BEST way they think to disguise their plan is to hide it in the SAME ROOM?

I told my director, and showed her the massive pile of garbage I had to clean up when I found out. Revenge will be mine. I’m not sure what I’ll do, but those students will suffer my wrath.
