It's not all bad

The teaching's not actually all a nightmare, honestly. Sometimes I get a really good class that actually tries, which goes some way to making up for all the horrible, out-of-control classes. Some of the students really seem to appreciate my lesson, and at the end of the lesson they chorus "thank you teacher" with great enthusiasm, and I go all warm and fuzzy inside. On the other hand, of course, could be they're just relieved the lesson's over and they can get the heck out of there and away from the mean English teacher. But I choose to believe it's because they like English class.
