So, had a group of teenagers (lise 1) before christmas. Total disaster. They hadn't looked for English lessons. Lessons offered as a bonus at the dershane.

Those kids wouldn't even answer "yes". Everything was in Turkish and after three lessons of he11, I went to the management and they cancelled the lessons.

(My other lise 1 lessons are going great and I love my lise 2, btw.)

Now manager wants me to return to nasty lise 1. How can we, after all, have lessons for one group and not the other. He'll talk to them first, he says, tell them the rules...

I am still expecting a headache.

What would you do?

Take delight in failure, dejection, and humiliation ... enjoy my crumb of bread when I got home at the end of each long day ... and praise the lord for the joy of teaching ... Twisted Evil
