Well, I've gotten through my first week of classes. Highlights include one kid putting a shoe through a window, another challenging me to an arm wrestling match (which of course I won), and several students getting 'physical punishment.' For those of you that don't already know, 'physical punishment' is forcing the students to exercise or hold out their arms etc.

Biggest difficulty I've experienced so far is getting the students to speak, they all just stare at me and getting a response is like pulling teeth. Come to think of it, pulling out their teeth might get a response so I think I'm going to pencil that into next week's lesson plan.

Yes, I still need a camera. Thinking about getting one over the weekend.
