Sigh... students are starting to get a lot of prejudices against Americans. Apparently they see a lot of... certain person/s in the news, and now some freak out when they see me. Special needs class had to be canceled cause a kid screamed "foreigners should all be killed" x_x.
You should treat it as a teaching experience. Spend a whole class and explain to them that not all Americans are as batshit insane as Rump, and not all Americans wanted him to even get as far as he had even during the Primaries, and that you're one of those that don't even view him as your president. In short, that you aren't "one of those people they should be freaking out over".
Wish I could, very little control over the very strict curriculum though. Plus these kids are young, they likely don't entirely get what they're saying and why they say it, and some of it likely comes from their parents. I live in the boonies, and the boonies of any country can carry some shelled in mindsets.
"foreigners should all be killed" x_x.
Give that kid an "A" and never turn your back on them....
ENFORCE THE EXPULSION EDICTS! DESTROY THE GAIJIN DEVILS! DRIVE THEM BACK TO THE OCEAN AND THEIR BLACK SHIPS!
The crazy thing is they may not get this reference! This region is soo incredibly sheltered with their history lessons. A couple teachers were legitimately shocked when it came up that Japan and America were at war... and I know how to read Japanese "pretend we don't know to ease the mood" stuff. It's crazy. Recent favorite was teacher thought US was 1000 years old. When I told him my family came from Italy he couldn't accept that I was still American because of that and the concept of immigration xD.
Japan be crazy. EDIT: Japan boonies be crazy. I should clarify. This region is an extra dose of odd.
