It's funny - while I'm teaching the little kids, I can tell they like me... more or less... at least I think they do? But as soon as I stop teaching them, I become like a rockstar! I walk through the halls when class has been let out and I have kids screaming my name... Kids that rarely said two words to me in class now come running when I pass, hold my hand, give me hugs, give me candy and treats as I go by!
There's one little girl - she was my youngest student before the class switch-up, she's so tiny! Anyways, she was one that would cry and cry for the first few classes... then eventually I got her to be okay with the classroom setting... But I still never heard so much as a few words out of her... Now I see her during the breaks and she's all talk! Smiling, and saying things to me! It's so weird to see this big change in her!
These other kids, I taught for about a month when I first arrived. I see them now in the halls and the amount they like me seems to grow exponentially as the time I actually taught them gets further and further away! At first they would shyly wave at me in the halls. Now it's been about 2 or 3 months since I taught them, and I'm getting hugs and my name yelled three or four times when I pass by.
It's nice to be appreciated ;)
