Notice that none of these people are famous for BEING teachers, only using the job as an excuse to travel the world while they did something else. Is this a message?
Robin Williams taught EFL in Good Morning Vietnam. An inspiration. |

He did--and he did it badly. In my adult ed course last year, we were shown a clip of that meretricious flick in which Robin the Ham performed his act for the natives. I suppose real teaching would have been too boring?
Interstingly, the BBC showed a series of Vietnamese movies about the war a while back (well, it was 1989)--they were great flicks, despite being NVA propoganda. One day, when the US becomes a free country, they might be broadcast.
(I am not anti-American btw, I just think its people are brainwashed and enslaved, by the right and the left.)
Hmm. I must stop drinking and posting.... |
