I went to this class to do substitute teaching

One said to me that he did not want to learn English because he hated president Bush. I said I was surprised he got so political at such a young age. Another told me that they are not learning English, but rather “American English.” Yet another said to me that I was so stupid that I did not even know how to tell the whole class to be quiet. I told him that I have been trying to be smart all my life.

A girl just sitting in the front told me that there’s no need to learn English because she will kill herself when she is 20 grin

That disturbing remark did not quite match her sunny smile. Whether she was joking or manipulative I don’t know, or, maybe, nowadays, like those 9/11 hijackers, it’s cool wanting to die.

I still persuaded her to learn English, in case she decides to live when she is 20. There is still such a lot of world to see, and she would see more in English.
