"Let's Challenge!"

Today one of my 2-nensei* students was being silly as class started and was sitting in seiza** (on his wooden chari!). So, I challenged him to sit like that for the entire class. He was squirming after only 5 minutes, but stayed put. Unfortunately I didn't get to see how long he could actually sit because we did an activity that involved standing about 20 minutes into the class. Maybe next time. ;)
