The meetings were at the school. There is a beautiful garden over there. So I thought it would be a nice idea to sit there and not indoors. The English room is behind us, actually.

I �m so happy you liked my post! Have a great week!

Wonderful idea !!! Wonderful picture!! Wonderful YOU.

So nice to see you:-)

 

In my school we have a similar program in the 7th grade, in which every 10 students have a teacher they can turn to, in addition to the homeroom teacher.

It is working really well.

Hiya, i �m just back from the country where me and hubby helped my in-laws to dig in the corn field. Yes, i did some agriculture work and i loved it. Now, back to business.
The idea that linlin described is not only fantastic but also necessary. The ss often perceive of us to be �teachers � and we of them to be �students � while in fact we are both �people � with more or less the same traits, and we should be aware of that.
We have nothing like that in my school (probably because i work in a village and most of the stuff is already from the village, as well as the students, and they all know each other oh so well), but during the 2-3-days � school trips we get very close to the students and have a really good time. Especially at night time when we, the teachers, want to sleep, and they, the students, want to party, so they torture for hours and hours ... till the early morning hours.
It would be great to hear more stories like this one!

 

(we travel with our students on summer/spring/winter holidays and spend the whole day with them, take care of them, work with them, etc. we share the room - we have our little rooms inside the kids � rooms, so they see us in pyjamas, without make up, with morning hair and stuff... some would say it undermines our authority and their respect for us - no, just the opposite, it creates a whole new situation with even more MUTUAL respect and no problems with authority...)
