However, today, I was left with absolutely nothing for the class to do. It's mid terms, the students I had today had already taken their tests. Basically, today was just one big 8 hour long recess.

The room was unlocked for me (this school does not hand out keys). I could not find lesson plans. I didn't want to jump to conclusions to quickly and get the teacher in trouble. I started digging deeper - probably getting a bit into his personal stuff. I went to two neighboring teachers to ask for help. When a teacher went back to the room with me,...See More
