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.

Where have all our old students gone?

 
Where have they all gone? Some may be still studying, others may be still looking for a job, others may have already found it.... Actually, there are already many with well-established families and careers who even send their children to our school!!  The Circle of Life.




When will our current students ever learn that life passes by so quickly and that we must make the best of every single moment and experience? When will our society ever learn that education is crucial in that vital process? When will our politicians stop messing around with foolish educational policies?


Sometimes it is too late to change things, like in wars, when the damage is already done, but at least I try to make you aware of all that is going to come into your future lives, from my humble point of view.


And here's the first step to make...  GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO REGISTER to prepare for the B2 exams at the Official Language School in Motril.

 


 


   

This is the song that reminded me of all the old students I've had along my teaching career: Where have all the flowers gone? sung by Joan Baez. Here's a version with the lyrics for you to sing along!!

 


 

 

Some activities for you to do:

A lot to solve and to discover :-(((((


Our world is full of paradoxes. A lot of efforts and investments are made to travel in the universe and find planets elsewhere, building glass bridges... while we still have areas in our world where a natural disaster can cause hundreds of victims. It is fantastic to make discoveries, but shouldn't we invest more money to solve ordinary problems on Eath such as: famine, droughts... or earthquakes?


Natural disaster:

Italy earthquake: Death toll rises to at least 159 (BBC)  >>> The latest: Italy earthquake: Death toll reaches 247 amid rescue efforts  


Astronomy:

Discovery of potentially Earth-like planet Proxima b raises hopes for life (The Guardian)


Advances:

'I'm not afraid – it seems safe!': China opens longest glass-bottomed bridge (The Guardian) Watch this video.
