Therefore, my voice is not heard....
Wow! It makes me so happy to finally find somebody who thinks like me. My workmates always tell me I'm not 'professional or objective', and spend hours discussing marks and bureaucracy. I'm the odd one out because I always talk to the students in English, and try to introduce them to the 'real thing'.
But we have a great relationship, do all sorts of relevant things in class (or at least we think so) and that's what counts.
At the end of the day, I just want to teach them to love English and to understand the Anglo-Saxon culture.
I'm sorry to be so forgetful, but you teach Maths in a high-school, don't you?
You sound like the kind of teacher I would want Iris to have.

Thanks, Maria - that is a very kind thing to say! Yes, I teach high school Algebra. It's a lot of fun!

I haven't forgotten about Iris. She was quite lovely. Sent my regards if you see her.
By the way irises are still in bloom although it's getting late, but now that June has arrived, it's definitely roses' turn

I said there was this American lady I had met through a forum ( I might have used the word friend, hope you don't mind) who gave lots of straight As and was strict too. I just wanted them to see I'm not the odd-one-out.
Deberíamos empezar un hilo para hablar de educación, y además si quieres te puedo escribir en español, porque te vendrá mejor.
Un beso.

¡Me encantaría un hilo para hablar de educación! Esta semana, estoy demasiado ocupada para escribir mucho ... pero cuando empiezo mis cursos (en diez días), entonces más sabré mi horario. Definitivamente voy a participar. Me encantaría hablar sobre educación contigo! Y en español.....

Yo tambíen estoy muy ocupada, pero cualquiera de las dos podemos empezar el nuevo hilo cuando nos venga bien. En estas épocas hace falta desahogarse.
Besos. Hablamos.
