I'm teaching grades 1 and 2 in Vietnam and my teacher's assistant is driving me crazy
Author Summary
Mescallan is in Vietnam
Post Body

She keeps interupting me in vietnamese, presumably explaining what I am saying, and then getting frustrated at me that she has to help, when I didn't need her help. Then there are other times that I will ask her to translate something for me because they do not understand, and she will say something like "draw it on the board" or "talk in a higher pitch your voice is too deep for them to understand".

A week or two ago I was teaching them larger than (>) and smaller than (<) and I asked her to translate the words because they didn't understand, she told me to draw it on the board, 10 minutes later I ask her to translate again, and she says "they know the <,> symbols, why are you not using them?" Because I have been teaching them for a week and I have no idea what they do and do not know.

She will regularly change the lesson plans after asking me to prepare out side of class, or give me the wrong lessons and tell me that "you are not prepared I'm not going to tell you every day" so I started writing everything she tells me down, then reading it back to her, and she will still say "that's not what I said, you aren't listening to me"

I just needed to vent it's driving me nuts, love the rest of the country and the experience of living here, but I have to work with her 12 hours a week for the next six months, we are three weeks in and it's going to be rough if something doesn't change.
