    Tu as trouvé un générateur de "pirate talk" ou ca vient de la moitié anglophone de ton cerveau, avast. Y a pas l'équivalent en français (à  part "Tavernier, du rhum!")

    must say you're pretty brave to change careers and get into teaching, one profession i am glad i did not get into :) especially with my low levels of patience, i would be screaming at the students very often :) but i'm sure it will get easier once you get into groove. plus all those long holidays to look forward to!

    Ca marche comment en Suisse : combien d'heures par semaine faut-il assurer ?

    Those children are our future. Steph, I wish you good luck in one of the most beautiful and meaningful missions a human can have on earth. :) (Sorry if my english is bad)

    Pascale: 25 heures d'enseignement et une heure de décharge, donc je dépasse le plein-temps d'une période.

    Flippy: je suis d'accord avec toi -- mais n'oublions cependant pas qu'ils ont 14 ans et non 17!

    As someone who began teaching 3 years ago, I sympathize. Many of the students don't want to be there, and have little incentive to cooperate. Since punishment is no longer allowed, your only weapons are a good sense of humor and as many rewards as you can think up. Every minute you spend in advance lesson planning is worth it, because when you're armed with a solid plan, most students will acquiesce and follow it. If you're unsure, they'll fill in the gap with restless misbehavior. I would advise you to eat lunch with the staff, as it's a means of decompression and getting a sense that "we're all in this together."
