How To Lose Guan Xi...in Color!

The past few days at meal times, our program director Julia has been eating with my class to get to know the students. This has been pretty good because the students have a new target to ask a million questions a day. That is, until yesterday when one of the lower students couldn't remember the particular vocab for his question, so he just asked it in Chinese. We like to keep an English-only environment, so Julia gave him a citation.
It looked something like this...



A citation is pretty much just a reminder to use English and a warning that if you get enough of them, you're in trouble. The first citation is practically meaningless, but the students didn't see it that way and were quite upset with Julia for giving him one since it was only a few words. Well rules are rules so Julia didn't bend on it, and seeing as though she is my boss, I didn't either. So today, the students sat on the complete opposite ends of the table crowding each other so not as to have to sit near Julia.



Hey, at least it built class unity. :)
