Today I went to an English speaking economics class. I have no background in the subject but it was nice to talk to the students and here how they felt about school. Many were feeling overwhelmed by the workload and their sports. It was very similar to what my students at Magee Secondary dealt with on a day to day basis. One thing i love doing as a teacher which i learned from my SA is to thank the students for showing up. I found this helped create a bond between student and teacher. TEC is highly competitive just like the schools in Canada. I could relate to these students and sympathized for them.

Later on we went and watch the Teachers vs Students Soccer game. It was great to see the bond between teacher and student. I hope to create these events at my future school. At the end of the game they played bubble soccer. Check out the video below!

For the rest of the day we attended a conference and met with a teacher to discuss tutoring students for thursday and friday!
