| Like the title says, I am so bored I just picked out some students who sure need some more English time and set up 2, 20 minute lessons (max 4 to a group, and the groups are from the same class and same sex) a week. . |
How do the students feel about that though? I would have been teed off were I a student and a teacher had decided I needed more French time (regardless if I had needed it or not). |
I also created an advanced class, separted each group by putting friends of like gender together, and will not tell anyone why. This makes it seem like good and bad kids are getting help. Also looks like I just grouped all the small groups according to friends and nothing else. Already thought of and taken care of.
On another note, who gives a damn! Damn PCers. I a student fails, they should know they failed. You don't have to say it harshly and it should be put in a constructive way, but people tiptoe around children's feelings way too much nowadays. If they bloody well need extra help, screw their feelings. This is the same thinking that have so many children passing through the system even though they failed. "They would be older, and no longer with their friends... They would feel bad"... Then when they get to highschool and people no longer push them through, they actually have to do the work and it's pass or fail, they drop out. I wonder why?
We are creating a generation of wimps. |
I am not talking about failing (or any of the other stuff in your post) at all. I was asking how do the students feel about having to attend extra English classes(regardless of their ability)? The reason I asked is because I can't see how motivated they would be having to attend public school and hakwon all day and then being told "Well you have an extra class on top of that."
If they don't want to, it's not going to do much good even if you were Super Teacher. And I don't know too many kids who would rather attend class then play with their friends or play soccer/Starcraft.
But hey, maybe your kids are different. |
