How to drive your students crazy in 45 minutes

-
Firstly, don’t worry if you arrive for class 10 minutes late and while opening the classroom door, you start greeting your students with a false smile, from ear to ear that the only thing it hides it’s a simple: “You’re going to die”. We’re used to it. Then after more than one attempt of trying to open the door, you finally reach your goal; get your students into the slaughterhouse.

A few moments later, you try to open the computer… What happens here? Don’t you have studied for something? After a huge time of attempts it seems you decide to give up and you tell us to open our notebooks and books… “Open the book and copy page 15 while I try to solve the problem with the computer” It was all a cover; your only objective is just to try to open the computer a few more times.

You decide to forget the idea. “Today the computer isn’t working; I’ll read it from the book”. Bad excuse detected! Well, we can’t be good in all things. Then you start explaining the vast grammar lesson even if it’s only 15 minutes for the bell. Everyone in the class, including you, knows you won’t have time to finish with it. But anyways, lying yourself, you decide to start talking.

Well, its five minutes for the class finish, the horror story is getting to its end… “Please sit alone; we’re going to do a short test” What the hell? If it’s only 5 minutes for the bell. We start complaining and you, as always, use the popular reiterate and bad excuse… “I’ll give you time in the break to finish the exam”. Sorry? It’s my break time, not yours.

And when we think it isn’t going to be that wrong, you show us the exam… A ten page exam that waits for us to write on it. But the best thing is your face while giving the exams. I think it’s a pleasure face, but for not seeming a bad teacher, you like to cover it with the same smile you use while you open the door, a killer clown smile.

Well, to finish the job, while we are taking our things and trying to escape from the nightmare, you can say: “It has not been so difficult, you can’t complain”. That is the moment when we start thinking what we have done to deserve that. But who knows, maybe in a future we will be able to take revenge…

"Wonder"

-
Have you ever thought you are better than someone just because they’re different? Have you ever thought about how people with serious health problems live? “Wonder” helps you to value your life and love yourself as you are. Wonder is a book that talks about August, a teenager with a serious physical deformation. August has never gone to a normal school; her mum has always been his teacher. Now we will need to face the problems the new school will give him. Exclusion, empathy, bullying, realism… are a small part of all the values that this book teaches us. August has not had an easy life, when he was young he needed ten operations on his face. Despite this problem, he has always continued loving himself, a difficult thing in his situation. This is surprising because lots of people would give up if they were at the same situation as him. I highly recommend this book because it’s very realist and makes you change your point of view on many aspects of our daily l...

Watching films at cinema vs at home

-
Every Friday, we get surprised with the amount of new films that are available to watch in the cinema. However, there are lots of people who prefer to watch films sitting on their sofas. So it is better to watch films in the cinema or at home? On the one hand, watching films at home can be more comfortable and cheaper than going to the cinema. Firstly, you do not need to spend money on tickets and you can do whatever you want because you are at your house. In the cinema although you need to pay, there is a best quality in video and sound, which makes the film lots better. Also at home you can only watch old films, while at cinema you can see the newest films in the billboard. On the other hand, watching a film in the cinema can be more enjoyable. To get started, I need to say that microwave popcorn is good, but they have nothing to do against the ones in the cinema. Another advantage is that in the cinema, there aren’t interruptions that make you lose the thread of th...
