China class addendum #01452.
So I was sitting in class, alternating between reading a novel (Memories of Ice, the Malazan Book of the Fallen series), reading my book, and reading the blackboard and taking notes on what was up there, when the girl across the aisle passes me a note, which said in slightly fractured English, "We're going up to get a new teacher during the break."
You see, while most of the people don't like the teacher, we're willing to work with it for the semester - especially since someone's already talked to administration and gotten a "No" response. Now. Remember how much I've bitched about the teacher (a fair bit)... and how much I've bitched about the classmates (more, if not in number).
I effectively wrote back "Talk to the teacher first." You see, the teacher -has- proven able to change to try and meet the class's needs, and I've been paying more attention the past week as a result. But the rest of the class, well, isn't, and...
Most of the girls (I use that because not one guy is going up there; then again we have like five in the class) just fucking well talk all through class. This is all they did with the old teacher, it seems to be all they'll do with the new. I was curious to see if they would actually talk to the teacher or not.
Of course not.
So I may (unlikely, but) be looking at a new teacher Monday, and either way I've pissed off a group of girls I don't care about anyway.
Woo, vague ethics?
