Wow – it wasn’t a fluke!
I’ve had another bash at teaching today – a listening exercise in this case. And once again I got some very good feedback. I’d love to take all the credit, but I definitely feel that I wouldn’t be experiencing as much success as I am if it weren’t for the excellent support I’m getting from staff at school. Not to mention the fact that this school (which a recent ofstead rated as ‘outstanding’) contains some of the nicest, politest and cleverest boys you’ll ever see at school. I still find it difficult to believe that when I tell a boy to sort his tie out, and say it in German, they do it! I give them an exercise to do, and they do it! I’m not sure I’ll ever really get my head around it.
Well done… but yeah, don’t get too used to the compliancy!
Wow, well behaved teenage boys? Not a phenomenon I’ve ever come across before…
Indeed – it is contrary to normal teenage boy behaviour. At first I thought I was in the Stepford school!
