Class 8, Section 1. My favorite in this class is Bobby — he's sitting in the front. The collective amount of cuteness in this class outweighs that of all the other 15 classes.

Class 7, Section 2. They're one of the best-behaved classes. But their counterparts (Class 7, Section 1), are a different story.

Class 4, Section 2. They're the smartest kids of the bunch. Cindy, a girl sitting in the middle, is a child prodigy. She can speak in fluent English. Her conversations with me mostly revolve around Disney movies.

Class 5, Section 1. You can't see him very well, but Jacky, the single-cutest kid I've seen in China, is in this class.

Class 5, Section 2.

Class 6, Section 1. They're pretty hard to manage, but not as difficult as...

Class 7, Section 1 — my least favorite class of the 16.

Shortly after I took the first photo, the students of Class 7, Section 1 asked me to take another. Bad Idea. I was bombarded by students afterwards. By the way, the boy standing on the chair in the background regularly gets up and dances in the middle of class.

No teacher should have to deal with all of these students in Class 7, Section 1 at once.

Class 8, Section 2.

The mess that is the school hallways in between classes. Dangerous area to be in — you may just be run over by a charging six-year-old.
