Where’s my time for family or doing what I like best? At my desk in my room, that’s where I can be found correcting spelling, punctuation and tenses till my head’s spinning around from all the mistakes in their essays. I see no end to this chore, because as soon as I finish one batch, other students have turned in more. Yet as the year progresses, I see they are writing better. What’s this I find? They can now write a decent formal letter! They’re using connectors correctly and punctuation’s no longer a chore. I’m finally reaping the rewards of all my hard work. Believe me, being a teacher: deserves an encore! I should get paid more! is what I was born for! add your own: ________________________ Yes, a teacher is owed more respect [and more money would be nice too] Teaching English is not an easy job……. but it’s the one thing I want to do! ************************************** ** Join ETNI on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/groups/31737970668/ ** ETNI Blog and Poll http://ask-etni.blogspot.co.il/ ** Etni homepage - http://www.etni.org ** post to ETNI List - etni@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** help - ask@xxxxxxxx ***************************************
