I wonder if things would have been different if Mr Grimes had a Korean homeroom teacher to complain to or was allowed to use stress positions and sticks. Or if the kids all had handphones, MP3s, and electronic dictionaries will all sorts of games programmed in them.
It's amazing how much more boring his class gets after he improves his teaching methods, isn't it? |

From "How to Win Friends and Influence People," mentioned in this video-- Some really useful stuff there.
