brothers’ fascination
My brothers recently discovered Battle Royale… And over the weekend, they have been busy downloading it through You tube. I only caught a glimpse of it… and just asked my bros to tell me the story. The story is quite twisted. The story is about students killing each other using weapons and all, this is called the battle royale act. The BRA is being allowed by the government. A student who survives the BRA would be declared as the winner… That’s a the gist of the movie. I wouldn’t give the ending of the movie… There’s also a part two.
My brothers are also interested in watching Azumi, another Japanese bloody movie which is sort of like Samurai X. It sounds scary that they have been interested in watching these movies… But I know my brothers are not destructive kind of people. They just like watching movies, esp. those with subtitles. It started with Ring and then the Tales of Two Sisters.
Other matters, I am having a hard time having a balanced classroom atmosphere… I really dont like scolding my students alot… neither am I too strict. I hate reminding my students to keep quiet, go back to their seats, etc… My point is as long as they participate in class and know and understand their lessons, I am fine with that. But I fear that I will get bad marks in classroom management if I continue with being too relaxed. So, I have to work on this big time.
On lighter note, I have two bloopers today. It’s a good thing my female students are nice enough to let me know that "charlie’s dead." argghh, that was quite embarrassing. It’s just karma bouncing back to me. There was one incident during my teaching units days that one of our classmates also figured in a same situation but we just laughed and didnt let her know. It’s bad of us… considering we are all professionals already in the class. Lesson, all the things you have done unto other people will come back to you.
