I work for Interac, my first year as ALT, and have lived in Japan for 2.5 years.
I was recently absent from work for two days due to a strained muscle in my back that made it hard to move without pain.
Today I got back to school and prepped as much as possible and thought all was mostly fine.
I did one class, it went okay, and moved onto the next. Before the usual aisatsu, I saw the HRT move their tablet into the corner of the room and had it propped up with camera facing the front of the room where I was standing. I instantly felt I was being recorded.
I did the lesson to the best of my ability and when we were finished, I saw the teacher go to their tablet, press something (presumably to stop the recording), and brought her tablet to the front of the class. I then caught a glimpse of what I had known was going on; they were reviewing the video to make sure it had properly captured everything.
Now, I am definitely not the best ALT as I have been doing this for just a few months and have no formal education credentials. I'm trying my best to make every class as fun as I can, but it still remains difficult. I'm assuming my track record thus far is not up to par for the school and they are sending proof to Interac to show that is the case.
However, I've never heard of this happening and could not find similar stories on Reddit. Has anyone had anything like this happen to them?
