I can't know what you think, nor what most Americans think either (I'm not even sure why you're mentioning Americans).

Actually it wouldn't be too hard to assign number grades on the spot, though I wouldn't bother grading 2 minute presentations anyway as it's far too short of a time. I'm not even sure I would have any presentations that short in my classes, graded or not.

I think possibly I've heard of a single teacher bringing their guitar to a single class because the students asked him to do so. Hardly "most FTs" like you said.
I've never heard of anyone basing a class on songs but why would that be a problem? Songs are a great way to help students learn with benefits I won't bother listing here as they should be obvious.
I was more surprised about the claimed obscenity classes. Could they possibly happen? Sure, this is a big country. But "most FTs" like you claimed? No.

My join date indicates the date I joined this forum, nothing else. Your own join date is far shorter as I'm sure you're aware of. My post count indicates how many times I have posted, not how many topics I have read. It's quite immature to look to these two things as some kind of measure of experience and authority.

I don't know what you are talking about here. |
