But also, and this does not seem the same in France....GENERAL education & SPORT were just as important as maths!<BR/><BR/>They at the time made sure you had a jolly good WHOLE education, not just certain prime subjects for specialised outlets.<BR/><BR/>Actually I loathed it.....the blind discipline, the absolute obligation of doing what you are told to do, and the horrific class set up, stupid dramatical punishments, never seeing your family etc.<BR/><BR/>But, thanks to them, even now that I am old and crumpled, I'm interested in everything, and that is thanks to their rigid methods!!!<BR/><BR/>They trained me like a puppy....to want to learn, to learn, and to go on learning forever!!nghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488588328161848816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18862674.post-26627697680217398422008-04-23T20:28:00.000+02:002008-04-23T20:28:00.000+02:00I so agree.I am one of those teachers that has hig...I so agree.<BR/><BR/>I am one of those teachers that has high expectations for my pupils and expect them to work toward them (something some of them find mildly amusing). I always think: what would their parents expect them to do in lessons; learn or chat? ,how can I motivate them to achieve their best, etc. I let parents know if their child is not doing their best and I ask parents to work with me (I love the parents that agree to confiscate X-boxes until homework is up to date).<BR/><BR/>Where do I teach? In a private school! Things aren't so different here.Working Mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16243697047355131343noreply@blogger.com
