run away behave x2 misbehave do x2 roll teach participate join in

If anyone invites you to teach English to minors I would advise you fast! Young children are especially
difficult to teach. You can’t allow them to misbehave and to run away too much but you can’t expect
them to behave like adults either. Instead of leaving them to roll around on the floor, you need to teach
them to participate properly in class. You can’t command them to do anything they don’t want to do.
Instead you have to encourage them to do their best and urge them to do. Songs and games might also
motivate them to join in.

Maximise do x2 use work study speak have a chat

Teenagers are difficult too, especially when their parents force


them to study English. Teaching
courses tell you to maximise class speaking time by using pair work. However, if you permit

teenagers to work in pairs you might as well invite them to speak a chat in Spanish.
(It doesn’t matter how much you beg them to do in English.) I forbid them to have a

chat with their mobiles in class but there’s always one phone that starts ringing. I’d love
them to do their homework but they always forget. I can remind them ten times or even
beg them to use it, but it doesn’t make a difference.
deal come up have do

Teaching English to minors requires


you to have lots of patience and excellent organisation
skills. It challenges you to come up with new ideas fast and prepares you to deal
with difficult situations. Despite the challenges, it can be a rewarding experience. When your students
finally start speaking English well or get a good mark in an important English exam, it’s satisfying to know
that you taught them to do it.

Teaching is a divine skill, however many times it is
misunderstood and badly paid. For example: Today, students
do not study to learn but to have the grade. It does not
matter if they obtained it by cheating or by pressuring the
teacher. If the student does not do the homework, it is the
fault of the teacher who did not encourage him. If he
misbehaves, it is the fault of the teacher who did not
interest him in the subject.
If he failed on the test, it is the teacher's fault because he did
not teach him well.
If he copied it is because he was forced to do so as a last
resort.
This paternalistic and corrupt educational policy does a lot of
harm to young people, because we will have almost illiterate
graduates, the worst useless to self-care and worse serve the
community.
