1968. Just people talking



The first premise is to accept me myself, this is, to have a nice self-esteem. 

If we struggle at some point in order to improve ourselves we are on the correct pathway. 

We’ve got to accept us: image, traits, personality, situation, job, my family, my wife, my boss, my pet, my thinking… yet we might not like ourselves. 

Let’s accept us as we are. However it’s sound to try to improve on specific points, like for example to be nice at home, and not quarrel with my wife. 

If I quarrel with her, after some time I should beg for her forgiving me and peacefully expose my vision. 

Also there will be good communication with myself. I’ll feel happier and more satisfied, and therefore we make us more capable to help out others. / Photo from: people talking. www beauty com

3678. What to Do to Have Nice Discussions in Class

  I’m an English language teacher. And I consider that my dear students would speak in that language is the main goal, don’t you think so?  They often say sentences in class, if they are at a low level of mastering English. My higher-level ones intervene for longer and we hold nice discussions in class. Definitely I have to have them all of my students would contribute to the class for longer than mere sentences. I must have them speak for rather long.  Some years they have prepared oral presentations to speak for some minutes … or the whole lesson sometimes.  Definitely also it’s not the same to say just sentences than to have some conversations or some discussions.  Lately more than before this current school year I can observe that the textbooks we’re utilizing help out a lot.  By the way, I teach adults and when I ask them, well, I try and ask tactfully, because obviously they have their privacy.  Moreover if we wish we would have discussions in cl...

3679. If You Still Have Disruptive Problems in Class with Your Students. Some Ideas

  One issue every teacher thinks of from time to time, or perhaps often because that teacher may have that kind of problem, above all if he or she is beginning their career as a teacher, is how to manage classroom behavior.  Today I’m trying to say something, apart from what I’ve written so far on quite many posts. You may find more under the tag or label management of the class .  The main point I think is important is to have the clear idea that both the teacher and his or her students are in the classroom to work, as said in plain English. They come to the schoolroom to work. The students to learn, to learn by working, and their dear teacher to teach them and help them become full and honorable persons.  So the main concern of their teacher ought not to be classroom management, but how to have those dear people to work and learn.  Nevertheless if some problem comes up in class, some behavior problem I mean, that teacher might say or show something, depending ...

1454. Bullying

Image
Teacher B said to teacher A, “Bullying. In a school of the south of Spain where I worked for some unforgettable years we used to cut off any nuance among the students, when a few of them for example started on and teased one specific kid.  We on one side called the victim kid to talk with him and also called his parents – his tutor did this latter thing. The idea was to have the kid relax and retrieve information from him about the bullying actions he had suffered.  On the other side we summoned the suspected authors of the bullying, also to talk with them. We asked them some questions to learn about what could have disturbed the kid victim.  We then, on following days, invigilated the play ground in a more focused way.  Plus in those students’ classes we spoke about friendship and comradeship.  Close to all the other classmates did know about these actions of bullying. Even the authors could receive some kind of punishment (more hours...

2571. Whatever You Teach Is Great!

Image
Some school subjects may be more humane or they are educative because we’re treating deep insights of a person, and they’re more humanistic.  But what when we teach math or chemistry: aren’t those subjects educative?  Definitely they are: we are educating people and help them mature. These ideas are taken from philosopher Carlos Cardona. / Photo from: Student math teaching cols columbusstate edu

1485. More about necessary homework

Image
At home the student ought to count on an atmosphere that would help him study.  Once more it’s the parents and elder siblings the ones who can provide this ambience at home.  There can be little siblings running around and all that, but the student should have a quiet room to carry out his homework, maybe with one of his brothers in the room too.  Homework and reading.  Reading can aid a lot to the kid to mature. Think of classics.  Maybe not as much as a student that attended a camp of English last summer. I was helping out with further conversations in English with each kid. That one had read Grecian The Iliad and The Odyssey, but… now I think to remember he had read abridged versions of both literary monuments.  Anyway, if for instance dad and mom read books, more likely the kids will read books or comics too.  That kid’s father is a teacher of Latin and Greek at secondary education. / Photo from: Student reading l...
