Sometimes you'd that all college grads living in the West are trained as secret agents before being shipped abroad to pose as English teachers I'm not sure if it's the strange clothes, the inability to speak the local language, or the fact that we spend so much time in bars that gives us away :)<br /><br />Letting the students choose their grade? Now that's an idea! Actually, in a way they do here. I've learned that grades are seen as negotiable both by teachers and students. I don't know if you get that with kids as well.Nick Jaworskihttp://turklishtefl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-72972860277462914802010-10-23T16:32:48.060+03:002010-10-23T16:32:48.060+03:00Besides Nick, you've forgotten that students h...Besides Nick, you've forgotten that students here get plenty of choice. 4 choices in fact: A, B, C or D! =DDaveDodgsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16896292275243412346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338834914703775055.post-47730066285278493352010-10-23T12:47:42.984+03:002010-10-23T12:47:42.984+03:00LOL.

The kids will be traumatized when they learn that they don't have the ability to choose their future. <br /><br />And what if they start to have their own opinions and question authority? I suspect you are some deep state agent trying to topple Turkey.<br /><br />Good luck with that :) :) :)Nick Jaworskihttp://turklishtefl.comnoreply@blogger.com
