I mark every time an ALT class is cancelled at my base school.
Since it's the end of the school year, I thought I would add them all up.
80 ALT classes were cancelled at my base school this last school year!
...just one more reason I'm leaving this English forsaken city...

Heh. Nice. I wish I had done that. Actually I think I only had one cancelled, but then, I don't have a schedule. So you can't cancel a class that never existed to begin with. woot.

Hmm nice, I only just started keeping a schedule, and then only because I forgot which classes I TTed had done what activity. Let me tell it was a little embarrassing when i tried to do the same activity twice with one class...In the end just ended up playing some drinki err...creatively fresh ALT games from scratch that had nothing to do with the grammar point. BUt for the last 2 months or so I would wager a good 20 some ALT classes cancelled for me... So far my favorite excuse was for a morals class taught solely in japanese...

My school avoids cancelling a class in favour of "can you come to class for the last 15mins" where I have a free range to make activities where I express myself through the medium of the dance, the gesture and the acting out of emotion, but not verbal communication.
That makes the students think about english as it is spoken. They don't like that sort of thing at this school.
They have the holidays to think about whether they really want to piss me off. I've seen every Arnie, Bruce Lee, Charles Bronson and Clint Eastwood movie.

Coming to a movie theatre near you next year;
He was an ALT, fluent in English, he was hired to help students with their english pronounciation. Instead, they made him arm-wrestle 1st years. Asked him to sing Wham's 'happy christmas' with no backing track and katakana subscript for 3rd years. Finally, they asked him not to speak the way he speaks, but the way the textbook says they should.
More dangerous than a rotten kebab, more powerful than a wasabi colonic irrigation, more terrifying than waking up strapped down face first over a see-saw in a Japanese elementary school playground...
