My Spanish Teacher is joining my school!

[scottnshelly]

My parents' preacher came to our school for some lessons. He turned out to be a real jerk and a fake though. He tried to teach me boxing and i ended up breaking his nose because he was hitting me just as hard.

I also taught several people that i went to school with and such.

Like everyone else said, don't take advantage of it, just teach him/her and treat him/her like everyone else.

i remember once my MOTHER joined the school. can you say akward?

[Kieran-Lilith]

Yes. My mother is joining the school in a month or two. Somebody wish me luck, she's going to have to get used to me being able to tell her what to do. Oh boy. Somebody wish me luck.

[ovine king]

why would you be telling her what to do?

[JusticeZero]

Well, if they are of a rank that has to teach sometimes, and his mom is just starting at a low level, then mom will be in a group that they will have to be teaching and enforcing order on.

Suck it up. It's a specific setting.

[ovine king]

that's just it.

the poster is not a teaching grade student.

I've often seen below teaching level students be asked to, say, run a group of beginning students through a basic drill while the advanced students are given instruction by the teacher.

a yellow belt heading up a group for drills?

[Kieran-Lilith]

I've done it before. But I'm orange now, which, actually, is a big difference. Besides that, I'm in the more advanced class instead of the beginners, and that automatically gives me a sort of rank over most everyone in the kids class. Well, some blue belts and the rest of the orange belts and below, anyway. Anyway, yes, yellow belts can run a group. But I think Sensei must have been pretty desperate/crazy. The kids did learn the kata, though! I had to get a little help, but still! The nikyu was teaching blue belts Sankyu kata, the sankyu was teaching the more advanced white belts ichikyu, the gokyu was teaching the yellow belts nikyu kata, the rokyu was teaching the orange belts pinan shodan, and that left me. So, I got to teach the very beginners, the ones without gis, ichikyu kata while I was nothing more than a yellow belt myself. Henceforth, they decided to be little brats.
