Since the beginning of March this year there's been a change in the timetable at my middle school. Last year I taught a class once a week but now they've been divided into three levels for not only English but also Maths and Korean. This means that I teach a class every two weeks now.
Obviously I had no say in the matter. The school directors decided to make the change during the winter break and now us teachers are lumbered with having to make do with this change in circumstances.
On the positive side it has reduced class sizes from 30-36 students to 20-26 students which makes classroom management easier and in turn increased teaching and learning time spent between teacher and each student. But on the negative side I see them less now which means progress is slower.
