Which do you prefer as a teacher? And why? Is it the KG students, teenagers or adults? I personally prefer the KG level students because they are so affectionate and find the joys of life in the simplest of things. It's hard to feel down and out when your around a classroom of such enthusiastic and sweet-natured children. Yet, there are those moments and days when teaching nothing but adults sounds like manna from heaven to my spirit and that's exactly what I do. I cancel my KG level groups for 2 or 3 months and open up that space for adult learners. This works out well for me since I start missing the little ones again around this time frame. Most importantly, I'm all refreshed and vigorous for all the next round of bouncy students. I personally find that the teenagers are the hardest ones to teach since they have so many changes going on with their bodies and minds. However, I am grateful for those teachers that excel in teaching adolescent students.I'd like to hear from other teachers about their own preferences.Out of here! Deli

I will be sharing in Journal form my cultural experiences with living and working in Thailand. The things I write here are strictly written from my observations, personal opinions, beliefs and moods when writing. They are subject to change as I grow as a person culturally and in wisdom gained from daily life. I know very little about anything and I would like to keep it that way so that I may remain teachable.
