Twelve... but I have the same twelve all day (9:00-4:00) for a week (Mon.-Fri.).


The same group of twelve for how many weeks?


I have each group of kids for one week - then won't see them again.


It sounds sort of like perma-camp. I think it could be fun, but if you got a bad one for a week, it would be a damned long week!

Exactly. It's a permanent English 'Immersion' Camp/Village located on the grounds a high school. Kids from one grade in an elementary or middle school in the 'gun' are bused in every day for a week. So far, I've had only one elementary class. I've found there is a world of difference between them and the middle school kids. My learning curve was very steep with the elementary class and those five days were taxing (but not 'bad'). If I truely do get a bad class, it will be a "damned long week"; but also, they'll be gone on Friday. Very Happy

At our camp I always insist on the elementary kids, the middle schoolers have too much attitude. And they are exhausting- three weeks twice a year is more than enough.

(P.S., not to be a didactic B'ch, but you should work on your spelling. I tell you this as a bad speller myself. I live with a dictionary by my computer, and kick myself when I don't consult it enough. Embarassed Wink )

Embarassed If I had an English version of 'Word', I'd write all my posts on it then 'copy and paste' them to the board. Smile

The funniest thing happened yesterday, I was complaining about having a Korean version of word, so one of my co-teachers got a burnt copy for me. I was very happy.

I don't know where you live, but I have heard that close to the U.S. bases, the computer stores have surprisingly inexpensive versions of both the Microsoft English operating and Office (which has Word).

No, no, no. I am innocent. I did not ask for such a copy but was given one just the same. They installed it on my computer while I wasnt there. Do you think I should get it removed?

Doesn't that button forward things directly to Bill Gates?

Someone had better clean out his computer fast. We really cannot countenance illegal, immoral behavior here on Dave's.

I do believe that possession of stolen goods is a prosecutable crime.

I asked my head teacher and she said that it was not a copywrite problem as the school pays for a legal version of msoffice for every computer at my school. They are just putting an english version on instead of a korean one. They are using their Korean key code and everything. I feel relieved and glad that you guys care enough to help me feel morally pure with all my decisions and going ons during the day. Thanks again.
