Re: Crazy people: Hyunjae edition
______
After my one-sided shouting match in the halls, I don't see Hyunjae at all, but I do still have to collaborate with her about the questions for the midterm. Fuckshitballs.
Since we don't share material at all in the midterm, it's no problem. All I have to do is type them up, and get a copy to her. I hear from somewhere that Hyunjae is actually under stricter probation as a teacher now, and she has to submit her final to the principal and vice principal for review before it can be administered to the kids.
I type up my questions, and go to find Hyunjae. I have some vision in my head of throwing the flash drive at her heading and just running away.
She's not in her office. Okay fine, whatever. I'll wait.
Later, still not in her office. It gets to be pretty late, and I still can't find her.
Finally, I run into her by chance in the hallway. She's wild-eyed and skulking, looking like some animal about to be caught. I feel a stab of pity for her, somewhere under my alarm.
She comes up to me, and to her credit, she's actually normal to me. Or a normal as she can get. “Khronos, hi. Do you have the questions done for the midterm?”
“Yeah, I can give them to you right now.”
“Oh no, it's okay! I'll be in the library, you can give them to me then.”
It turns out, that to escape the pressure from the top, she fled to the library, to a little side room that only staff could enter. The librarian, a girl only a few years older than me, rather liked Hyunjae, and let her use the room.
I go into the library, a little weirded out, and ask the librarian, “Uh, Hyunjae...”
She points in the direction. I find my coteacher back there huddled in front of a computer. I hand her the USB drive with my questions on it, and try to keep it as short as possible. I get to leave without another fight. Hooray!
But my victory is short lived. Aeja comes up to me, later, and says that I should be there in the test room when it's being given to help proctor. Keep in mind, that for the most part, only the Korean teachers proctor during midterms. But because of Hyunjae's underhandedness about her test, they want me in there so she doesn't pull anything.
When I say underhandedness, Hyunjae was pulling more domination tactics. She was trying to assign the majority of points and questions about her material. Literature. In a public speaking class. Basically, she got slapped down a bunch of times until she changed it.
I'm not happy about having to proctor with her. The less time I have to spend with her, the better, as far as I'm concerned. But I don't have a choice, so I go.
The morning of the test, I show up and head to the gymnasium, where they have loads of pupil desks lined up. Basically exactly how my highschool did finals, too, actually. It struck a sense of nostalgia with me, and eased my nervousness.
Hyunaje attempts to whisper directions to me about how I should handle proctoring, while a few Korean teachers read instructions for the test. I can barely hear her, so all I say are terse “uh huh”s. She leaves me alone.
I tried to make my material for the students as simple as possible. It's basically just questions about the lectures that, if they reread the lectures, they should be very familiar with it.
After not too long, students' hands go up, requesting help. It's a big damn room with only two teachers, so we split sides. I go to one of them. Of course, it's questions about Hyunjae's material.
In fact, all of the students' questions are about Hyunjae's material. It turns out that her questions are as poorly phrased and nonsensical as her initial material in their class. They're all just reworded from worksheets she handed out. Even as a native English speaker, I'm having trouble deciphering her bullshit.
As I leave one student's side, Hyunjae starts tailing after me, hissing. “You can't help them with material, it's against the rules.”
At this point, I know that Hyunjae would pretty much try any tactic to assert her dominance. Plus, I just don't care. “Right.”
She's not satisfied, and tries to beat it into my head. When I stop responding to her, and just watch the students take the test, she hufs off.
As soon as the test is over, I leave. That was the last time I saw Hyunjae.
Next up: Epilogue and supplementary materials. Also, Q&A-- haave anything you want clarified? Ask me!

While it was fairly apparent even to my Korean teachers she was not well, no one was pushing her to get help.

(Anonymous) 2012-09-09 12:56 am (UTC)(link)Q! Did the students end up going on to the schools they wanted? Or at the least, did their marks not suffer too much?
Re: Crazy people: Hyunjae edition
Yes! Thankfully the school intervened in her crusade to punish the students, and while they did get a hit in their grades, it wasn't enough to stop them from getting their top school choices. I was super proud of them, they were all great kids.
