Today’s school was a little strange as they asked for a seminar “for very beginners” but they had actually been teaching English for three years!!! And actually even though it was an official compulsory workshop several teachers simply ran away when they heard it was being done by a non-Japanese. Hmmm, a lot to fix here! The thing is the teachers who were there were great, and it’s really the other teachers that need to see my workshop!!

I also had a little less time than usual so trimmed a few things, but at the end I was asked questions about things I’d left out – it really does all need to be in there! But they were cool, did the activities, got the motivation stuff and after a while also picked up on why it is actually wrong to discriminate people by race!! So that was cool.

Then it was really, really rainy so I went back home and started on today’s computer work.
