I learned to switch from kindly uncle to fire-demon to wise teacher in the course of 15 seconds without interrupting my lecture.
Probably most important, I formed alliances with students and other teachers. |
Good stuff PYU I like it. |

Well said, billy.
Constructive criticism seems a foreign concept in the TC. |

I will heartily agree with that observation that relationships are far more important in Turkey than rules (in professional environments as well). They tend to blow up and throw tantrums at the smallest issues. I've heard stories of bosses screaming their heads off at secretaries about minor issues.
I realize now that there will a huge cultural gap between foreign teachers and the students. Best to learn to compromise, me thinks. This is a foreign country after all. Perhaps, I need to stop expecting them to understand me. Brought a lot of disappointment. Find your own group- people who are going through the same thing. Much needed- trust me! |
