When I retired I wrote to the French teacher in the high school near me, offering that I come, whenever she wished, maybe several hours a week, no charge, to speak conversational French (as I know that this teacher’s French is not that good – she taught my girls…) well she was not interested. I offered at another high school – same thing, they said kids did not want to learn French anymore or something to that matter, even though they had classes in French. I said I could just talk about the culture and history instead of the language, still no interest in the least, and a friend who is Hungarian got the same answers – granted Georgia is number 48 in education….!Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-62105145103199647882013-08-21T20:14:12.793-07:002013-08-21T20:14:12.793-07:00What IF?!

And here you found a way to utilize that. Good for you! Kids loved it; teachers loved it. Parents even came along.

I'm considering doing a Beginner's Spanish class eventually, but I'm nervous. I think when it goes like this, when the teacher, whoever they may be, is teaching something they truly enjoy and have a passion for, it makes the class that much better.<br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a>Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-56498849660877838462013-08-16T19:32:33.370-07:002013-08-16T19:32:33.370-07:00What a wonderful idea!

Wherever the conversation goes. Maybe the world map, maybe what a will and a trust are, maybe immediate versus delayed gratification. He never walks away until his ride comes.

One taught drama and the other introduced the kids to golf. To have actual regular classes learning what their educators love to teach would be a dream come true for most schools. <br /><br />Good for your and your group for establishing such a fine learning experience for your kids.Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269120272474965191.post-86376899086519992882013-08-16T10:24:32.473-07:002013-08-16T10:24:32.473-07:00I took residence for a couple of hours a week in t...I took residence for a couple of hours a week in the Home Economics room and taught students to make their own pizza. Yes, the class had more boys than girls and everyone had to return at lunch time after the dough had risen, to bake and eat their pizza. <br /><br />Our morning class allowed us to prep the condiments, and make the dough. The following week, I did the TV switch, bring an already risen dough to switch with the one we had prepared so we could go ahead and bake the one that had already risen. Children all took their own dough back home in a baggy, ready to bake for their families. Rosaria Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133147851332084180noreply@blogger.com
