Class Energy Dynamics | Teaching in Taiwan

In this video, I talk about a few of the factors that influence the energy of teaching a class. A link to the game Big Booty can be found here:

Your observations on Taiwanese classrooms and students are very accurate. This is truly an interesting channel, and I'm glad to see you sharing.😊

Thank you, I still have much to learn here but I find the educational system and my classes to be fascinating. My appreciation for watching!

You are a nice teacher From Jonathan your student in Wen Chang

[@ryfree]

Thank you Jonathan! I'll never forget our classes together with Teacher Sally. Good times!

Wow that's some senioritis......very interesting that they are super lax with seniors there. .... kram schools sounds very intense too.

[@ryfree]

Yes, the juxtaposition between all the studying they're required to do plus the lenient nature towards absence and tardiness is very interesting. Thanks for watching!

Always enjoy your videos, great new things learned as always. Man you would really not like teaching in America after having spent years in Taiwan, a complete mess here at the moment in the classrooms.

[@ryfree]

Always glad to hear from you and get an idea of what the situation is like in America. Thanks for watching my friend!

nice echo

[@efmanekrethonatus]

yeah... I totally understand the situation. Really appreciate that you're still so energetic and positive after teaching for one and half year in high school, that's really impressive. When i was in high school it's like: 07:45 -08:10 finish a test, and than the last class will end at 16:50, and than the cram school. At that time I was sooooo tired all the time, so I'll push myself to finish the fast as possible so i can have maybe 10 more minutes to sleep lol. And even there's some teacher, or subject, I genuinely love it, i really wanna concentrate, but i just can't. My mind will just shut down, and you just pass out DEAD. I know you've done your best, and i really admire you still prepared your course, that's awesome! But, well, I think student around that age would rather playing balls (or maybe not) than being in class if there's no pressure for score or test or something like that. They just don't want to be in the classroom at any cost. So I'm really happy about the game thing still attract some student, that's really nice. Well, keep positive, wish you the best.

@@efmanekrethonatus Well it's great to hear firsthand experience from someone who went through the school system here, thank you for sharing. I suppose I really can't blame students for not having energy when there's so much demanded of them. At the same time, I'll keep doing what I can to engage them and at least try to make one of their classes fun and refreshing. Wish you the best as well.

[@ryfree]

Yeah, sorry about that. I think I need to find another location to film or do something in Adobe to fix that. It's definitely annoying.

the room is a little echoey for a video...

[@ryfree]

My apologies but you're absolutely right. I'm going to try to fix this issue going forward. Thanks for letting me know.

That’s too bad that there were hardly any students in your first period. I can see why they’d be late, though. I’m surprised that some kids hop the fence lol It’s a shame that some of your students have to be more reserved with the Homeroom/English teacher. It’d might be better if they didn’t have the Homeroom teacher play both roles.

[@ryfree]

Yeah I totally can't blame these kids for skipping a class especially considering how much academic pressure is put on them. I hopped the fence a few times in my day as well lol. Thanks as always Sis :)

[@Diana_Free]

@@ryfree Yeah, that’s nice your understanding. Haha, I bet! 😆 No worries, bro :)
