Today's lesson started off on a bad note. [The little kid] was over-the-top
annoying and Socheat thought it would be funny to say "sh*t"
repeatedly so I was pretty sour. Everyone was very talkative when all
they had to do was write some example sentences I had given them on the
board. Pattica thought I was picking on him a lot today and Sophanuth
and Phanith were laughing at everything for no apparent reason. I was
pretty silent and they all knew I wasn't very happy so they'd quiet down
but then they'd forget themselves and start up again. GAH! I was so
close to just yelling at all of them today but this is like the first
time they've ever been so restless so I took the "scary, silent" route
and they eventually wised up and just listened to me. By the end of the
lesson everything felt back to normal and afterwards I just took Socheat
to the side and asked him not to say that anymore and he apologized and
made up excuses like that he didn't know it was bad and while I don't
believe him I just said ok and to stop saying that.
