[etni] Fw: Teachers of English

Subject: Teachers of English


Hi folks:

I am an Anglo-American currently living here in Israel. As the author of many books on computers written in the USA, I naturally have a great liking for the English language.
I was delighted to learn that a grandchild of ours was starting to learn English at her Chabad school. She is 11 years old and is particularly bright. Her knowledge of Hebrew is excellent -- if only my ability in Hebrew was that good!

I was looking forward to helping her out with any problems she might encounter in English but she has never approached me for help. I was ready to give her 24-hour support. When I approached her about her English studies she became unusually silent. I tried to explain to her that the English language is increasingly becoming more important to know than ever. She then turned to me and, with anger in her voice, said: aich zeh ya-a-zor lee? (How will that help me?)

Does anyone have any ideas how to turn her attitude around?
