Masks

Friday 25 September 2009

So, because of the imminent and terrifying threat of H1N1, all my my children are now required to wear masks. I have tried explaining to the management that these masks are only effective against large dust particles, not tiny germs, and that they are even less effective when the children take them off to eat twice a day and drink their required liter of water three or four times a day. Not to mention the fact that they are three years old, and so are constantly taking them off.

So, now I muddle through classes trying to figure out what my students are mumbling in their terrible, brand-new baby English, while they learn bad pronunciation habits because I cannot hear to correct them!
