I assume this will be the first in a series of posts about the pitfalls of teaching young Japanese kids. The rumors I`ve heard have varied from hilarious to slightly gross, and I`m going through my days with my head on a swivel.
For those who have never heard of kancho, here`s your info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kancho
Anyone who`s been in Japan for a little while has either seen or experienced this first hand. It`s annoying, but certainly less painful than a ball tap.
Today was my first day playing with the kids, and I got one within about 5 minutes of stepping onto the field. A group of 5 boys surrounded me, asking me questions and telling me to play soccer when BAM, one slipped past my novice-level guard. I scolded him, but I doubt these kids will ever heed my reprimands.
On another note, it`s a good thing I started working out again. 15 minutes of soccer, then 10 minutes of a school dance had me sweating something fierce, and the school year is just starting. I`m sure it`ll be different when it cools down, but now I see why the younger teachers wear those dri-fit clothes that whisk moisture away from your body when exercising.
