this boy in the front is the best class monitor ever, he takes his job so seriously. in most of my classes i don't even really know who the monitors are because they don't do much, but this boy takes it upon himself to carry out the duties of his position. he goes to a school that i really like but his class is a little crazy so sometimes i have trouble getting them to focus. when he starts to perceive that the class is getting a little out of line, he will come up to the front with me and start dishing out commands in chinese and writing down the numbers of the naughty students. he's gotten a lot better at his job- at first he would come to the front and be so loud that i think he was actually contributing to the problem haha. after a while the kids would stop listening to him too because he was just being way to demanding with the level of silence that he was asking for. i never said anything to him, i knew he was just trying to help. now when he comes up, he only will shout out them to be quiet every so often, and it is sudden and loud. he is learning well :) sometimes his inner child can't help but come out though- one second he'll be screaming at his classmates and then the next thing i know he'll be jumping up and down in front of me trying to get me to call on him, just like everyone else. usually this would drive me nuts but i give special allowances to him as my super class monitor.
i'm not sure why he's holding that long metal thing, perhaps he was using it to rap on the desk before. if i were those other kids though, i wouldn't get anywhere close to him with that thing...he is like the prototypical chinese disciplinarian...
