Thanks for the direction, but it makes me so sad. I gotta post him. I don't know if I could last through that either. It's so frustrating to know that teachers say that stuff . The administration obviously doesn't know what they got. AAARGH!!
I'll do it in the next day or two. I'm too upset about it right now.
Hi, Janice. I just noticed your message. The teaching is going all right. I sent the coordinator an e-mail about what happened last week. It got a little political and I decided to quit. I told the coordinator that I was going to quit, and she prevailed on me not to. I cut it down to one day of teaching a week. I think that will work for me.
I am not really a hard guy to get along with. I just can't sit back and listen to a teacher tell students to not look at a witness because it makes the witness nervous and some of the other innane things I have heard this woman tell these students.
Another thing that bothers me is everything is geared to taking tests. I wanted to concentrate on phrasing to make sure these beginners are phrasing high-frequency words -- did you have,
have you ever had, et cetera -- but I am told there is not enough time for that because I have to get them warmed up to test. These students have to show progress in order to stay in school. I must say that the literary I am dictating to them is
extremely dense. One of the takes I dictated is about nutritional facts. When I started to test at like 60 and 80,
I think we were getting business letters: TK - S

That, of course, was precomputer theory, circa 1966.
Anyway, I will see how it goes. If I have to be like a robotic teacher and it isn't fun or a challenge, I will go back to using that time for other things.
Oh, okay. You look excited??? Man, oh, man. Was it by the ankles or a body harness? I think I could *maybe* do the body harness thing, but not the ankle thing. Huh-uh, no way!
Well, my Depoman girlfriend, I went a bit crazy with pics. I know, that's not like me, but I just wanted to let you know I posted one of you without even asking. How bold is that!! Of course, I didn't ask anyone else either.
