Can't I just stay at my old school?

So... my new school pretty much sucks then.

The kids are friendlier, but the teachers are not. They are also very lazy compared to the last school I was at. They let the kids get away with lots that they don't at Rokusho. It seems that the kids are impossible to shut up. Also annoying is the tiny school lunch portions, and how late the kids eat. I get my lunch dished up at 12:15, when I go upstairs to eat with the kids at 12:45 they haven't even gone down to get it yet. Seems like my food is gonna be very cold this semester. And the homeroom teacher is hardly ever with his class, they are just left to their own devices. Because of this a lot of bullying goes on, the kids are always whispering secrets around the class, swapping their food, making deals and stuff. This sort of thing rarely happened at the other school because the teacher was always with their class watching them and talking to them.

I also feel a bit in the way here. There are teachers who plainly just do not want me in the school, and do not see the point of English class. Yesterday during my grade 3 class I was just having fun with the kids explaining about Australian stuff (which they had asked me about) and the teacher stepped in and just said "They don't know about Australia OK, this is ridiculous" and totally ruined the mood.

Sigh.

She does know that teachers teach kids stuff that they don’t about.

Crazy lady!
