Dear MLIars;
How are things back at the hallowed halls? Have they managed to keep the water and the air conditioning running concurrently? Are you still doing those wonderfully informative and innovative projects? Does this sound familiar to anyone? "I am drive a car...I am go wedding my cousin...I am car crash--my friend is was is die..." In my estimation, at least 60% of those oral projects included information about some kind of fatal accident. I happened to mention this to the esteemed pedagogue who led my team, only to be sternly rebuked.
What exactly was the reasoning behind teaching Power Point skills to a bunch of guys who were barely conversant in the language?
I've taught at several lunatic asylums around the Gulf, but the MLI certainly takes the cake. |

Interesting that you would consider a wedding a fatal accident.

The teachers had to teach what the Academic Loonership Team understood... |
