This'll set fire to some asses I'm sure. But this board is getting very very boring with all those crap posts of the "I hate my principal"/How do I get a visa"/"Should I quit my job" variety.

Let's have some fun and see how quickly I can get flamed/accused of being pompous/having delusions of grandeur...

As a Elem teacher, do you lecture on your knees all the time?
Do you never wander more than 2 feet from the wall?
Do you stick mostly to the Korean teacher?
Are your students asked to rearrange their desks into microgroups based on how smelly the students are?
Do you keep them in that wall-hugging U-shape?
Are you scared stiff of small group discussions/whole class discussions in case you get embarrassing silences which make you look foolish for trying?
Is setting up discussions and giving feedback too much like hard work? Do you enjoy boring your students to death by lecturing them on why Ddong Chim will get you a slap?
Are your lessons more less concerned just with preparing students for sleeping?


Then you my friend, are a blackboard soldier!!!!

Just kidding!

If that phrase becomes popular, then I copyright it here and now!

You did say the above "Let's have some fun and see how quickly I can get flamed/accused of being pompous/having delusions of grandeur... " so I thought it best to have some fun.

Do you shy away from free talking and prefer the easy ride of Side by Side.

With lots of Choral repetition fill in the blanks and substitution drilling.
