Selfless students

Tonight I was teaching my second favorite class. Next Fri. is my last day of class so I was telling the students that since next week is our last day of class, I want to bring them something. It's the oral exam and I know they will get done early so I said raise your hand if you want cookies. Only 2 out of 16 people raised their hand. I said don't worry about it, let me know if you like cookies. Then no one raised their hand. I said okay..how about cake? Still no one said anything except one of my loud students who kept saying that they don't want junk food (she was kidding).

I said okay how about pizza? I thought they would say something but no response although some students whispered to each other like they were interested. I even said McDonalds and yet no one really said anything. I started calling some people out to see what they would like but they still were quiet. They were being wayyyyy too polite. I couldn't believe it. They are 10 year old students and they are so well-behaved. This is one of the reasons why I like the class so much, also because they are very smart.

I told them I would surprise them next week. I'm thinking of getting them a pizza. I told my co-teacher about this and she said, don't worry about it. You don't need to give them anything lol I'm only giving out food to the classes that I like the most and were well-behaved. So that would be a total of 6 classes out of 11 lol I want to give pizza to my top two classes and the other 3 classes cookies.

It's so crazy to think that next week is my last week of work. I could have subbed for some classes after next week but I want and need a break. As much as I did think about it and the fact that I'm a workaholic, I don't want to stress myself out before I leave Taipei with teaching classes. I definitely need some relax time :)
