Time to enter into the stage where I believe that I suck at my job. Add into the mix that my coworker has only 1 school, whereas I have 3, and she stays late most days. I always leave on time

nooooes! don't feel bad! i feel the same way sometimes but we just have to whack our head and not compare :( ....i still do sometimes though....and idk...maybe asking to eat lunch with the students might help you feel like you're connecting?
either way, some schools are happy you actually stay on time and greet the kids in the hallway if anyone sees you. you can never be as shitty as the one ALT we used to have who apparently didn't do ANYTHING when it came to smiling at students....*shudder*
what is your schedule like anyway? i remember you saying you had a butt load of schools that weren't exactly full of super genki kids...i think....*memories of omu rice blocking out conversation orz*
I do have English Lunch at my base school when I am there during the week. I always eat lunch with a non JTE at one of my visit schools and practice English/Japanese conversation.
I do interact with the students, and smile or say hello to them. Dear lord, that previous ALT sounds horrendous.
Uh, my schedule is weird. Odd numbered months I have a visit school 3 times a week. Even numbered months I have a visit school 2 times a week, and a day of no class at my base school. Om nom nom omu raiiiiiiiisu
