Here are some quick pics of the classroom. My classroom is of a decent size. One wall is completely glass (or bullet proof plastic, I'm not sure which). I also get to serve the kids lunch three times a week.
I had forgotten lunch with small kids... I was too easy... "Oh, you don't want to eat that? Okay, that's fine." Then the Korean teacher would bust in and tell them to eat everything. Whoops.
The kids all have school uniforms, backpacks, lunch bags, and slippers.

James sounds like a fun kid.
I agree with your chocolate cupcake description.
"You look like a factory man."
That was quite hilarious. Take it as a compliment, as factory men are often stereotyped as well-muscled perhaps.
Haha...I liked your story about the "vitamin." I sometimes eat candy or some liked-by-children sweet in class, tantalizing the students by pretending to give it to them and then plopping it in my mouth. (I usually have more in a bag somewhere for all of the pupils later in class.)
Seize the day physically and spiritually!
