15 May
We had a pub talk of sorts today for our Maturita students who were studying. Every other week, we meet with any students who want extra English conversation practice. Elanor meets the younger students, who she teaches more often, in a tea shop. Amy, Katie, and I usually meet ours in a pub...one of the things you CAN'T do in America! So usually, it's just random conversation. Tonight we wanted to do a trivia game related to Maturita topics, but ...almost as many "Juniors" as "Seniors" showed up, so that was kind of pointless. Didn't happen. Stephen came with us tonight, which was new! It's interesting to have an outsider's perspective on our pub talks too. Our kids speak pretty good English and are highly motivated most of the time. Even the shy ones open up a bit when they've had a beer. Funny thing, some of their teachers recommend that they have a beer before their Maturita exams. We saw a teacher give a student a shot of some drink last year before her exam! (More things you couldn't do in the U.S.!) It helped enough that the student talked instead of cried. ;-) Don't know that it's a great solution, but...It's the 15th of the month and, once again, I forgot to remind the people on my CA team to turn in their TMRs. Every month, we all turn in reports to ESI saying how we're doing financially, emotionally, physically, etc... I have to collect 4 and turn them in with mine...except I forget almost every month to remind them! I am not a great CA...
