Wind of change

This is history, this is change, this is BARRACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!!! The 44th President of the United States of America. I'm proud of him even though I'm not an American citizen. In my opinion the most suitable commentary to the whole event would be the song performed by The Scorpions-"Wind of change"...

Teaching practice

When I came to college 2,5 years ago I thought that teaching was be my dream job. Unfortunately, things have changed. Well, the situation looks like this: whem I go to my school and teach everything is ok, I enjoy it very much but when I come back to KJO suddenly this excitement goes away. Why? Because KJO kills our creativity; everything, if not followed by some strict rules, is wrong. I say, let us get the experience and tell what does and what doesn't work for us in terms of teaching. I don't wanna say that introduction-lead in-1st,2nd readin' listenin' etc. is something bad but do we always have to stick to it? I wonder when was the last time when a kjo teacher conducted lessons in junior high? LOL;-) That's enough cause I don't want to be ostrcized...
Summing up, I like this profession but there are times when you have enough because of the whole red tape.
Here is a sample of what students can do. I found it on YOU TUBE;-)Get a load of that! BTW I wonder how would you deal with the problem (after having 3 years of methodology)?
