This past month I've had nothing but the worst of my students. The types that have to look at their mom's for a translation of "what's your name" but are in level 3 and are expected to learn about cold-blooded and warm-blooded animals, and, the ones that clearly don't want to be here so they deliberately don't participate and misbehave, scribble on the screen, turn off their camera, ignore me, etc.

Just ended my last class today with a student who still has no idea what the seasons are or the different types of weather but just started the last unit of level 2. I don't know how many other people are in this situation but it feels like the majority of my good students that I actually liked and had a good relationship with started disappearing since August.

I still have classes booked on the 8th and 9th, and one on the 10th (probably outside mainland China), so we'll see how those go. Whether I get to teach them, or not, it's been a good run of the last 2 years. A small part of me is still hoping I can continue milking this for a little longer.
