Can You Believe They Call Me Professor Here?

So I have begun my school year and am currently teaching business classes to high school students. The curriculum that I am teaching is basic business concepts, but goes into how to create a business plan and by the end of the school year groups of students will have formed small businesses which we will then compete against the other school in which Peace Corps is teaching the same theme. Our purpose is to give opportunity to the students because they, for the most part, will not be attending college after high school. It is not an easy task to teach! In the states I feel like it is not easy either, but here they do not have any of the basic discipline that we have in our high schools, like raising your hand, not answering your cell phone during class, not getting up and walking around the class room to talk to your friends, being in class on time, etc. The culture here is one of very little critical, creative or personal thinking mainly due to the fact that it is a community mentality and not an individualistic mentality. What this means is that homework, in class work and tests are done by only a few and then the rest copy. Unlike cheating in the states, they do not understand that it is wrong. Parents also condone this by doing the homework for the kids and also don't realize how this is a bad thing. They figure that if someone in the community can do the work then they don't have to worry about knowing how to do it as well. This mentality has held this country back, as I am certain many other third world countries, because they never come up with anything new on their own. Getting them to think creatively or to take an existing product and making it better is about as difficult as getting an American High School student to design a rocket engine. On top of this lack of creativity classes are cancelled at least once a week for either teacher meetings, holidays and other various Saint days of which they seem to have weekly. Another challenge is that materials for the students is non existent. They might have a notebook and pen, but the school does not give books or any other critical material. Most Nicaraguans are notoriously bad spellers omitting silent letters or interchanging B's and V's which have the same sound. Some common mistakes are "ondura" for Honduras, "cotarica" for Costa Rica or public road signs that say "No Votar Basura" which when translated is Don't Vote Garbage instead of "No Botar Basura" which is Don't Throw Garbage. Being a teacher makes me feel bad for all the teachers whom I was the class clown in their classes, which were most. It is such a hard thing to keep the attention of kids and when there is one who makes a joke and distrupts the class my job becomes more difficult and also wastes time. I feel like I should go back and apologize to all my past teachers. I do find teaching rewarding though, when I see the light come on in their eyes it makes it all worthwhile. Also I do not mind that everyone in my community refers to me as "Profay" which is Professor, so I expect the same treatment when I come back to the states.
