lol @ chalkboard :)
For being the oldest American school outside of the U.S and probably the most expensive private school in Bulgaria, you would think dry erase board would have been no problem to purchase....

Other than that, don't think of your students as normal Bulgarian teenagers, they are the privileged ones.
Their parents make money exploiting the shitty mess that is Bulgaria, and those parents tell them how they don't want them to be here, hence the "them wanting to be anywhere but here" attitude.

Last night I was showing some high school photos and I saw the photo of my history teacher in the US.

He was cool !!! John DeBryun - Rawlins, WY

He would always jump up scared when i pronounced FACT which to him always sounded like FUCKED.
