However, this time, the assignment was to copy down a story from the book (among other things) and the story is 18 sentences long. We gave students about 25 minutes in class to write the story out and of course half of the students didn't write anything during those 25 minutes.
So then my teacher says "if students didn't write anything, please write in here...かく or 書いてください。" (both of those mean "Please write" in Japanese) So I was like "He just told me to please write wherever the students did not write. This obviously means he wants me to write in the answers wherever the students didn't write. Then I was like "What the heck are you serious you want me to write all of the stories in for these students that didn't write anything? THIS IS GOING TO TAKE FOREVER AND THE STUDENTS COULD USE THE WRITING PRACTICE THEMSELVES ARRGGGHH THE STORY IS IN THEIR TEXTBOOK WHY DO I HAVE TO DO THIS AHHH GRRR ANGRY!!!

| So all that red pen is me writing in the story. This is half of the story, the rest is on the back. |
So of course I start plugging away on my 3-4 hour task of writing out this 18 sentence story (plus questions and answers) about 100 times. After I finish about 10 of them he notices what I'm doing and he's like, "umm, no don't write it out for them, just write "please write (in Japanese)" where they didn't write. And I was like "oh, that makes more sense."

| And this is what I should have done; just write かく. |
I'm an idiot.
