BEING A TEACHER....

BEING A TEACHER IS A DIFFICULT TASK NOWADAYS, SO I DECIDED TO FOLLOW THIS PIECE OF ADVICE BY BRUCE LEE:

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend.

No need to shoot off when the class is finishing!!!

 

 

Students, teenagers... deserve attention, respect!!! Yes, they also have to give something back, that is to say, they have to show respect, pay attention... to their teachers, elderly people and even their peers!!!!

When the music or bell rings is just a kind of signal for the person speaking that he must come to an end with his explanations or whatever. What would students think if the teacher left the classroom as soon as the bell rings or the music starts when doing an exam?? 

So there's no need to shoot off when your teacher is finishing, or maybe one day YOU WILL BE SHOT!!!😠😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡

  1. Hello! Today I'm going to talk about "shoot out when the class is over"

    For me, this is rude because I'm in the same hurry as everyone else and I'm the last person to leave class.

    They don't put the chairs on the table, except some of them, and they also leave papers lying on the floor and more than once the cleaners have put warnings on the board about the organization and cleanliness of the class.
    It is very important to keep the classroom clean and tidy.

  3. I remember the last time I helped someone, it was in Madrid in a crowed street, a pickpoketer toke advantage of the crowd and stole an old person's bag an started to run, then I started to ran foward him and then I caught him, he was so fast that I remember I almost fell in front of everyone. Then I gave the bag to her owner, she was so grateful with me.
    The most helpful thing someone has ever done for me it's to paying me the dinner when I had no money in my wallet. We where in salobreña when I noticed I didn't have enough money for dinner, I told my friends and they said ``No problem Leo, we got you´´,and they they paid for me. I was soo happy with them that I realized that those are the friends that someone needs in his like.

  5. As students,we often expect respect from our teachers,but it’s just as important that we give it back.Teachers dedicate their time,energy,and patience to help us learn,support us and prepare us for the future.When we show respect by listening, following rules,and being engaged,it creates a more positive classroom environment.Respect helps build trust,makes lessons run smoother,and allows teachers to do their jobs better,which ultimately benefits us as students too.
