A.M. English

I'm having a hard time understanding the how to teach morning English to the students. We are supposed to be teaching to the middle however that does not exist in our classroom. Either the children are fluent in English and bored by the assignments or the children have no idea what we are saying to them and just stare at us with blank looks on their face. The children thats families are well off send their children to Hagwons (private schools that focus on English). So these children are way to advanced for our lessons. Then at the other other extreme of the spectrum is the kids who can't even recite the alphabet. How am I supposed to teach students about compound words when they don't even know their ABC's. I think that it's pointless just like a lot of the other things we teach but it's all about exposing the students to English so I hopefully it will benefit them in the end.
