 Posted: Wed Oct 11, 2006 9:54 pm Post subject: How to cope with indisciplined Turkish school children |
 |
|
Check out this piece of news from India, where children were coming to school in a drunk and disorderly way, but thanks to some harsh punishment from the Headmaster, the errant behaviour was somewhat curbed and controlled.
In Turkey many teachers (principally foreign teachers of English) are losing years of their lives to stress and stress related illnesses, because of appalling behaviour by many students in most of the Private schools, and ghost and yaramaz are here to tell you about those incidents.
In India, a different approach is taken, but would it work in Turkey?
Check this out.

It seems that the ectoplasmic entity cannot stay away from Turkey - even if it is only the threads on Dave's Cafe. Does the spooky presence han ker after being in Turkiye ? Will he return ?
I remember the spirit posting here when he was a mere teacher of French in provincial Canada. Must be a long time ago, eh ? |

I particularly liked this part ...
| Quote: |
Nisha Johari, a nine-year-old, failed her exams for three years in a row. Such were her drinking habits that she could barely manage to stop herself from sliding off her chair during the exam. But now she's on the wagon, and in the habit of binding herself to the chair with locally grown sisal, she is making progress.
"I just wish we could get her to give up the cigars now" said her smiling head master, Sunil Tarkaswar "she gets through a box of cubans each 30 minute exam, which as you can imagine plays hell with the visibility and air quality of the exam room. Things got so bad during the thick humidity of the monsoon that two paramedics actually got lost while trying to rescue an almost asphyxiated minor" |

| I hear the neighbouring village has a big problem with kids singeing the books when lighting their crack pipes, and all the knives and spoons in the school cafeteria are blackened. |

Anyway, haven't I already posted this story? |

| Did anybody see a new story recently on Turkish TV about a teacher getting roughed up by his students? (With video yet.) There were about 5 or 6 male students pushing the teacher around and backing him, quite literally, in a corner. I think I prefer them to be drunk. |

| Is that the one where the student sneaked up and whipped the teacher's pants down while he was writing on the board? The teacher (quite justifiably, I'd say) went apesh*t and the students had to hold him off from killing the one that did it... |

Yeah, though perhaps he's a bit under the weather. The old one broke so this, apparently, is his cousin.
(Actually, I just didn't feel ready to commit to a new little thingie so I found one that's not at all unlike the old one...) |
