Cambodia - Day 62

Another exhausting day teaching Chinese children from the living room. Often rewarding and sometimes really annoying. At 9pm I had a 1-2 session with a 14 year old boy and a 10 year old girl. The content, which is mandatory, was basically teaching the song 'Miss Polly Had a Dolly who was Sick, Sick Sick' and that was more or less it. The 14 year old boy was on time for the class and made it clear that learning this song was not a priority for him. The 10 year old girl was late for class and there was a problem with her sound and she sent me a message to let me know that she was shy and needed plenty of patience. At this time, after a 14 hour day, patience was in short supply. He rated me as 10/10 and she rated the class at 1/10. Looking back at my ratings for the last month, about half the students have made a rating of me. Of the other half (43), 32 students gave me 10/10, 9 gave me 9/10 and of the other two that rated me, one gave me 2/10 and the 10 year old girl gave me 1/10!!!
