more changes at work

as I mentioned last month, my workplace is undergoing many structural changes designed to improve the curriculum for the students and I do think it has been quite successful. Classes have been structured in a way to let the faster kids grow and the kids that struggle with English slow down and actually retain what they have learned. It's great. Except for us. I now seem to have more free time than ever before. I can't remember the last time I had a full day when I taught 6 classes and went home feeling tired. While some people might think this is great I do not, as I can finish my prep in far less time than I have and so I wind up bored and trying to be busy. I've tried to get in on sitting test classes and making up worksheets but that only goes so far. While I know they are re-tooling I find myself feeling quite useless there, sort of an overpaid babysitter and am getting impatient to feel busy again. Though I do have to admit that this free time has done wonders for my hanja, Korean, general going back to school studying and travel planning that is really not what I'm supposed to be doing there. I still find SEI worlds better than my old YES Academy and I know they are doing what they are to help the kids (which is really what it's about) but i do hope that they find more for us to do sooner than later.
