Hello all!!! As you �ve seen, I usually don �t take part in discussions, because, like I said, it kind of makes me feel sad seeing all these arguments. Anyway... I think we mustn �t act like our ss, be they kids, teenagers or even adults. We all have behaviour rules in our classroom, and some rules are well known even if they are not written down and posted on a wall. For example, we say, no running in the halls...BUT you can run all you want in the playground, that �s what all that space is for, so you can run, so you can jump, and have fun. So please, don �t run in the halls. There can be (and always is) a student who will stand up to the teacher and say, "WHERE DOES IT SAY no running??? I don �t see a sign that says no running!"
So if we can �t follow a simple suggestion (let �s not call it RULE) to post all these greetings in the ESL Caf�... is it too hard for us? Unless it �s written in big red letters in the list of rules for the site? Come on, my friends!!! Let �s lighten up those spirits and be nice to each other!!!
For example, I didn �t know there was a caf� here until I saw all these discussions, and maybe not everyday, but I try to visit it often, and I �ve found such a warm vibe there... all these beautiful pictures teachers share with everyone... I think it �s a great place, just as it is this Forum.
No, I �m not Mother Theresa!

I just wanted to put in my 2 cents and insist on what sharing and frienship is about.
Have a beautiful Sunday, and an even better week to come!!!
Hugs to all,
Mar
