Agreements

Hi students!
Well, today we talked about the development of our class.
I am really happy with the outcome.
I will compromise to:

1. Be punctual.
2. Go over contents faster.
3. Do more vocabulary activities in class.
4. Give you more homework.
5. Encourage you to speak English at all times in class.

I expect you to:

1. Be punctual.
2. Come to classes prepared. That means: homework done, contents studied.
3. Ask questions and verbalize what you think with respect.
4. Be professional.
5. Check the blog and post at least 3 times a week.
6. Speak English at all times in class.

See you!

Nacira,
No, I am not angry at you!!!
On the contrary, I'm happy to see that you're interested in your own learning.
I am a little frustrated, though. But in any case angry.
I understand that comparisons are inevitable, but I do not like being compared to other teachers. I am different. I encourage individuality and I expect the same from you.
I acknowledge that the content coverage has been a little delayed because I preferred to focus on skills rather than content.
I understand that you need more substantial coverage of contents and we will do that.
Let me state again that I do not resent criticism as long as it is constructive as it was today.
I will expect the same from you.
See you tomorrow at 8:00.

hello!!!!!
Today we speak about what we want in our class...but I really think that there is also innovative things and good things and maybe sometimes we see bad things anly but I think that there is also good things that we don`t say because we don´t want to sound like a flatterer ... that´s my reflection...

You showed us a strong behaviour, because you hear every comment and opinion from us...we're humans, and we have feelings...and if you feel frustrated that was only for the moment, i think that this kind of things help us to mature, so, God bleses you and see you tomorrow in class!!!

I like the fact that we could talk to you..but I think we should have done it in spanish because is a very important matter and lets be realistics we still have details in the way we spoke and there were many thing my classmates and I wanted to say to you but we didn't know how to say it properly. (apropiadamente)

also we never meant to compare you..that was never the intention...

lets hope everything will be ok from now on...
