Goodbye to the Scholarship Class

This week was the last class of the death-march "Scholarship" class. This class is called "scholarship" for no discernible reason - the kids in it spoke almost no English and really had no desire to learn it. They are all two-year certificate kids and none of them will need a bit of English once they graduate.

Then there's the fact that this class is a four-week, three hour a day job. That's pedagogically sound!

Still, the kids were all friendly and on the last day we reviewed for the final, watched a movie, and I bought a couple of pizzas. Then we took a group shot with the half of the class that showed up.

The girl right behind me to the right had a crush on me (she was teased mercilessly by her classmates about that). Now she goes off to one more English class, before graduation, and some other teacher to have a crush on. ;-)

Anyway, good kids considering the horrible schedule BPU put them through.

  5. Crush Girl does not get an A, for her choice of particular object to crush on reveals her lack of critical thinking.

    Say, I just realized there is not one peace sign being flashed in that picture. Just the one finger pointing at Young Studly there. I'll bet HE got the A!
