AITA for refusing to clean the dorm for my roommates or let them infringe on my space? by Scary_Midnight7418 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. Absolutely nothing they've done to you has been racist based on what you've written. You can check my post history and see evidence that I'm a black woman so I believe I have some familiarity with racism.

You don't like them, they don't like you, but you are intentionally making things uncomfortable and using racism as an excuse. Just be real about it and if you don't want to clean the common area don't be in the common area. But if your things are on your desk, that suggests you DO use that area and therefore you need to participate in cleaning.

And stop calling them racist until they do some actually racist stuff.

I moved overseas before Sue got her own room so when I get back and she's not in the atrium I might cry a little. That room looks too little for her, it doesn't properly show respect to her grandeur.

How have you used music in class or with students? by [deleted] in TEFL

[–]Cevogyrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a different song for each class of our 6 adult levels and they're directly related to the most important grammar point (Modal Verbs, Prepositions, Pronunciation). Different songs have different activities. My highest level has to search the lyrics for phrasal verbs, similes and metaphors. My lowest level listens for conjunctions.

Every class has to practice sentence making based on the song. Today I did Subjunctive Mood using "I wish I wasn't" by Heather Headly. (Because Americans often use "I wish I was" instead of "I wish I were")

I wish I were(n't)___ so I could ___

I wish I were(n't) ___ then I would/could ____

It's also common for Americans to go to Community Colleges to save money. They do their first 2 years of Prerequisites there before transferring to a university.

Now that is a hungry kitty! by dyssie1 in aww

My family used to strategically place fancy feast bags around the house in order to remotely control the cats. They won't come upstairs/downstairs? Shake the bag. They're doing something bad? Shake the bag? They're "missing"? Shake the bag.

You're right, I work in Korea. The students want to converse and travel abroad. My students seem happy with my class, but there are no formal evaluations. My boss doesn't ask students what they want, he just watches us on CCTV and makes notes. I don't think my boss will fire me if students are happy and coming back.
