Dry Throat Dry Nasal Remedies

Lehrerhasserpolemik, the Third

And another TEACHERS HATE-polemic article .

hiking into tears.

From Gerlinde Unverzagt Yes, yes, telling names.

game is the West that is the hard work. If you believe permanently injured only if they are insulted by some ignorant mothers. teachers, your hell job are the hardest of all. Not the hardest, but one of the hardest. This ensures them a comfortable place at the Wailing Wall. I am a Christian, thank you. always taking other jobs quite ready their unreasonable demands, such as parents know. The denies no one does.

The teacher clears his throat quickly and provide the teachers of German the word of the collegial greeting sentences just two or three glances at the clock gestural has highlighted the point. Performance: Mr - we call it negative man - is facing the parents before the manner and immediately grabs the bull by the horns. "Perhaps you have wondered," he whispers sonorous, "I the last German work, a retelling, have returned after six weeks." That's nothing, our German teacher has time can write a German work, since we had our issues yet by the previous back got. But that was a bad of the teacher places. I'm not saying that it is not there. murmur. "Well, you know, sands it in a low voice," I have two teenage children . Well, that come before.
This We passed through the opening and knowingly. So what we have ourselves at home, so we are sitting here. A parents' evening of the 8th No one attended class just for fun. "You know what it's like," the teacher lies in wait for the first nod: "I am the owner of a detached house - of course a very modest!" They want him to because of the raised shoulders helplessly in the shabby corduroy jacket, just believe. "Why did these two, 14 and 16, must have their own room. So I started in the summer to expand the basement." Already clear. If you have even a single half-grown child in the house knows well that nothing the atmosphere between parents and children, raises more than a some spatial distance.

involuntarily nod We tenants. "But this basement is wet, it is taking much longer than I expected. Now the whole fall break went for it," he exclaims, throwing his hands in the air, "it's still not done." Alas and alas ever. Because a teacher has a payload of unspeakable requirements life and what to look for the topic to a parents evening, another understand - how our private lives. There are divisions and crises in life, working mothers, absent fathers, difficult children, rent increases and empty refrigerators, everyday exhaustion. And always a great Portion of bad conscience, to have once again managed not everything, not to have done everything right. Who wants to belong even to the parents of which one always reads in the newspaper - lubricate their children a breakfast of bread and leave the TV on when the family helpers comes over the welfare office? Parents who buy their children never Papphefter the right to read and eat little wrong anyway?

worse suspicions: Are teachers about but lazy sacks?

But when asked how the last German Labour has failed our children batting at six weeks only reluctantly with the shoulders. "Hey, is already so long ago, no idea."
With an effort I will refrain from doing the Wonder if these teachers tell me now want him his job does not get to the series because he calls his private life too much. Times myself, what would happen in my job, I'd ordered texts do not deliver on time and excuse me so that I had to cool a feverish child and comfort. Or control my sixteen year olds the modalities of return times. The result would be no money to pay rent, electricity, and purchasing. Quite simple really: no power, no money. Teachers actually know that there is such a thing? Yes, oh, yes. And effort as well.

Other professions hold quite ready their unreasonable demands. But the loudest barmt the teacher. Bus drivers and nurses have night service. because I would like once to turn to the corrections ... Doctors push 36-hour shifts un you always thought it was illegal . Supermarket cashiers are poorly paid Well, Kira was in the DM already paid more than me in the REX. . Craftsmen build things and go bankrupt, unless the customer pays the bill. Moderators and taxi drivers can be fired from one day to another. Architects are often already. Industrial workers to avoid posting salary increases, than to lose their jobs. Artists peddle a sideline vitamin tablets and city magazines, or go clean when the bad times nobody wants to buy and their pictures or books, read their poems or listen to their music. artist now is really not the absolute archetype of "occupation". And all, all would not hesitate for a moment and to pack her things, when in another town a good job beckons and her partner can sit on dry land. That has to do with this aspect of the topic? . Until then, they book time management training seminars and workshops to educate themselves to keep up to date. do also teach. If they are lucky, it pays the school. If they are unlucky, this way is a "massage as each other's back and We have all kind "seminar. Been there, done that.

If all dams of the countenance breaking

Of all the teachers do not know his social habitat protected, he has hardly ever left. Again this generalization. "Social habitat? The teacher's creatures? And "Only"? Ha! Protected! This is one of the last words I would think of to describe the teaching profession. "With one foot in prison," since even better fit. The school is warm, the content is automatically - no matter whether someone is a good or bad teacher, the class work after six days or weeks to return , whether it by an 8-hour school day to five or even up to nine clock sits on the preparation and marking. And the salary is the same . Of course I did not say anything at this parents' evening, because my daughter has said goodbye to the order:.. Stop "Say nothing that I would be tomorrow's embarrassing just shut up, if Mr. Minus man says that because of the narration I'll never get's that is tomorrow from. " So we
silent. And at the front desk for the specialist officers spread the German language with a description of his passion alive. Now he gockelt front of the panel up and down: "Two eight classes I have Do you know what that means?" And again I wonder why this man the teacher says on a night and what to address the parents. Some parents are still on the line and refuse to mimic condolence. Since it comes after triumphantly: "No End exams lesson plans Ha!" A touching moment, this look at the coal mine of teaching business.

Does the teacher about himself, does his opposite number well to establish itself on the stylistic form of the action. true At least for me that, but I'm not happy if I can not complain a bit, I admit, but to also open. Is so even in my interests. Even if not for a fleeting encounter explicitly according to the values being asked, one of the teachers sendeth the washboard forehead and sighed full of grief "Do not got any idea what one expects of us here," or "With these students it is not an instruction to make", which are common conversation openings. Then it means to be on guard. Even sympathetic murmurs can burst the dams of the countenance. With a trembling lower lip, they paint a completely commonly unrecognized occupational hazard of: Sometimes you have to re-orient the teacher! Can be transferred to another school! Is badgered with schulbürokratischen decrees! Yes, apart from students and parents of the third enemy of the common teacher little animal. Or even with the Torture of a didactic training! Yes, Torture, I mentioned the massage therapy. then he should renew his lessons about preparation, middle-aged teacher likes to say: "? Now Fuffzehn years before retirement, since one can not hope that I once again into something new einarbeite!"

And again and again the image problem

Other teachers threatens the vexed teaching load slowly but surely completely leach. T regret it to his lips and announcing, this stress at least until the 65th not join in - to initiate the burn-out syndrome, which wiped out a third of the college, while another third are not mistaken for, recognized and overwhelmed holds. That one had dared not even last Gomera holiday, vacation acquaintances to reveal his own profession, and others people describe her class overshadowing end image problem that will make life so difficult. Well, to me, my father, the police officer already prepared. Nobody likes cops and teachers because the people who teach others. And unfortunately, too often take this habit with private life. refer
happy life insulted teachers that would save them hardly anyone this hell of a job with the naughty children of other people. 's true. It really is true. And on the above-average physical and mental resilience, over which a teacher must have to survive a day of school. Right. ;-)

bad already. But not every carpenter be afraid of heights, each nurse can see blood, every flight attendant bring himself to a friendly face, even if they would prefer to bite the passengers? The examples I let up on the stewardess, do not apply. Blood and gravity do not change every year, have no life of its own, and not attack. To meet the demands of a profession, you have to bring along some suitability for the matter, but everywhere. Yes. But ever heard of metal fatigue? If one wants to be a dyslexic, the journalist, not strongly advise against this career choice? If you wanted a vegetarian delight with the invitation to the pig roast? Random Remark?

Why suffer just people, the children can not not respect and are neither willing nor able to engage in it, of all teachers - it is a mystery. Why of all their children have gotten only a very bad teacher? Has she a teacher in a past life so made life a living hell that he has cursed them until the second generation? Are their children to have real Bratz? Or it is simply zur der Sorte Frau, deren Kinder ja aus Prinzip Unrecht angetan wird? Wir werden es wohl nie erfahren. Genauso, wie wir die vielen netten Dinge, die Lehrer für ihre Kinder getan haben, nie erfahren werden, denn sie würden ja das Feindbild zerstören, nicht?

How To Clean Vintage Soda Siphon

TEACHERS HATE-polemic, the second.

Ich habe zwei weitere Artikel von der sympathischen Mama Gerlinde Unverzagt gefunden. Und weil ich mich so absolut drüber aufgeregt habe, werde ich jetzt mit angenehmem Motzen meinem Blutdruck Erleichterung verschaffen.


Unsere tägliche Dosis Angst gib uns heute

Lehrer verlangen stets Respekt Ja, und ich glaube, das tut eigentlich fast jeder Mensch, Pädagoge oder not. of human dignity is not what is in the constitution? I know because I do not usually need time to ask Kira. - they are also willing to give the students the same? I do not speak for all teachers, but: Yes, if they do not behave like animals. The cane was yesterday. before yesterday, lady. form today ritual malice weapons to abandon young people in the educational melee the malice of a whole class and to teachers who generally exposed (I find it just partout, the German word for no one) in front of the class, the cold sweat on the forehead to to drive if they think only of the intermediate .

"Take hands out of your pockets! This is not a pocket billiards is played, he said, "my son, 16, recalls on my question, how was school today." Pah, "grumbled his 14-year-old sister," to Lena, the teacher said today, kick ' you will not always against the wall, the cracks likewise. "She sighs." Well, Lena is not really fat, but shape a bit around. Then it is equal to running to the bathroom and was crying. " So, I am of the opinion that was both as harmless, as funny remark meant, for direct criticism of the manners is pretty uncool, and usually works anyway. Was probably the teachers are not even aware that the girl problems with their self-image added. And as long as the boy does not wirlcih "pocket billiards" is played (who actually came to this stupid expression?), He must feel not yet attacked. On the other hand, I admit, a little more empathy would actually not such a bad thing for a teacher.
Something like this says more teachers, I know, in the way: "You are anyway an ugly Flunze!" Defend themselves? "No use," said my daughter. "Lisa's father has already spoken with him. Since then, says the three times an hour, so now that Lisa can go back to Papa for Peca and good cry. By us in any case nobody dares to say." My eyebrows indicated it properly: "Woe, Mom going to do nothing then he took me back auf'm Kieker!" Okay, yes, there was the variety of our school.
goes So the next day. It would be easy: A teacher may talk to a student only way he would accept it, conversely, Not at . Parents should talk with their children just as they would accept it vice versa? Ha! "Dad, if you fall twice as drunk get home, is what's." "Mama, others also want to the bathroom! Why you must you always choose the best of times? "" Stop with the constant nose lifting, that's disgusting! " "Red is not as stupid," Ahem * * nick, I can not think properly, like we all used to at home have said to our parents. If teachers are to educate, they should not then have the same right as the parents? - nil. "With your face I would rather like to apply at Aldi behind the counter," mocked the French teacher a Fünftklässlerin, who has just broken out because of the four in the class work in tears. okay again, so what is really not acceptable. An asshole. The's happening everywhere.
Enormous power differential in the classroom
stupid comments of teaching officials have paved the way through the Not from my elementary school , lady. Maybe a change of school is appropriate for your children? , high school saddled one better. There, the teacher helps his bruised ego with teaching ritual vulgarities on the jumps and attacks of helplessness Japp, as you have so aptly mentioned, the cane is so Milennium load. And a fifteen-year-old shows usually so reasonable when you talk reason with him. Teachers can not ultimately shorten the allowance or threaten not to play a more taxi or something. , overwork and ego weakness Ouch. I deficiency. I admit, I nibble personally because of some students will not be able to absolutely suffered. That makes me really a lot. And I also know that there are people who are on the A .... pass. These are the first-person strong. And the others are the weak ego. Good to know. on about all the evil back, which allow stronger over weaker ones commonly carried away. Once the teacher closes the classroom door, he is king on display . The power gap is large, the unequal struggle * Nick *, thirty to one, I'm unfähr! : Against irony are children well into their teens into helpless - they can not in the same coin . Repaid understand Until the teenage children irony at all! Therefore it is always advised not to say to a seven aces explanation ". Walking but even louder"
Consider the complaints about today's generation of students from a different perspective. What to wear high-handed teacher All? with all its quirks to the tragedy at German schools? Neglect, ignore, treat students unfairly and saying a lack of talent, shame because they look, origin and character. They put students under pressure, which is replicated in an epidemic in the playground. For a teacher, one student exposes, it is the malice price of the whole class. The whole bunch
discredited business practices has replaced the cane. But Psychogefasel manipulative and dismissive gestures pain no less than head nuts and strokes with which earlier generations were brought to heel. Interestingly expression. be "brought to heel". Is that bad? Do not get me wrong please would I consider to be inappropriate shocks, no matter how much you strangulierne one or the other students.
It's like this: Call a teacher his pupil, "asshole", he would next day the parents are on the mat and possibly incurring disciplinary action. Only one student who is ridiculed in front of the class does come away with it. Because the child is so mortified to think three times, whether it is the bad impression that it now has of himself, even more widely communicated. Or risk being denounced as after the intervention of the parents, the teacher crybaby or sneak. motivate
pedagogy repertoire of a Prussian sergeant
The common school teacher sees itself above all as read and cultured the error by fear to make. The bad thing is we had such a teacher in German and Latin. All had strong respect for, well, more respect for him. I remember me as particularly at a classmate, who cried from the hour sometimes. But we all, our grammar. Even Said girl asked today claimed that he was a good teacher. But really, fear of the school should not be eigenltich. Probate educational melee weapons: "writing is surely not at all your thing on it orally haste nix" All right, so what should not be trumpeted out to the class. But maybe the conversation in private? If 'true. - "So what is going to high school!" this exclamation I can fully understand if someone in the 10 class to the question "Who was Minister President of East Germany? "With" Hitler "answers. - "The whole day together with you that it can endure no bad!" If the noise level is constant at 60 decibels is true that, too. - "For what a home it is really You all grew up in the gutter?." And also let go by I do when students openly burp and spit on the floor. It's all a question of the situation that we are not so described. Sorry.
germinate then recalcitrance, is always in charge of puberty, according to the conventional wisdom of 10 to 19 Age persists. In terms of education, largely untroubled by developmental learning theory and knowledge is sufficient, the high school teachers of today, the repertoire of a sergeant in the Prussian army.
, at the school maintained the monoculture. There is only "students", "class" and "the substance". No single human being. But, yes, but unfortunately not the time to go into detail on each. I've met many teachers who are so well looked after, it was also about individual students, but only the mass (and because of the pressure of curriculum and such) that makes really difficult. The teacher there first administered in portions knowledge that the class has hervorzuwürgen quasi bulimic to date of the exam again. it fails, it yelps to the teacher, the class was too large, because he could not keep any eye on. Funny only: Elsewhere, learned in large classes. And if you say something like that, it is also usually an example, that it becomes clear how well the "elsewhere" is working and how much the children learn there. perhaps making bad teachers in small classes, poor teaching? Japp, probably.
Doctor Evil, professional officer for the German language, can not help but think the student relief figure on his throne. No one is to catch its humble knowledge advantage. How to write newspaper reports had, now have been tuned, my son mumbles. "It must be because everything important at the beginning, "he recalls vague," so to questions of who, how, where and so what. "Then he is still under way, we're talking a full hour on the text type" report ". It can be even provides details is astonished that Cicero once the W-questions to the standard stated place, kind of cool that we do that 2,000 years later still the case.

The solution Respect
is morning, he trots with a classic report as homework happily to school, . grown in the high feeling that the German class with excellent preparation for his come back contrite, "Doctor Evil I was pissed when I wanted to talk about the W's and Cicero. Because he does not appreciate when students blurt out the material he wants to wait until the next hour. "From there on the tray was gone German. The next five was not long in coming. okay, Doctor Evil is an asshole. I was in my first professional education seminar on noted that one should always be prepared for smart students who just know a bit more. And if a student so well prepared, then you should jump as a teacher for joy in a circle and prevent the whole not.
It always counts . only one thing - respect the message sparks young people themselves and constantly listen You just have to: The talk of respect as a refrain runs through the hip-hop and the language of the audience. often the same, which is otherwise attested bad behavior so hasty. What is meant is basic respect for others, not only in the successful, strong, powerful - even before failures, weak, defeated.
"Respect!" Long ago was the become in Germany a key word in youth culture, the Hamburg journalist Reinhard Kahl in Germany radio broadcast: "The word has nothing to do with his authoritarian role, the mitklang at the speech by 'elders' It is. the children and young people already hardly to authority conflicts. There is not the most pocket money or to free movement. The new is a lack of attention and response. Before particularly in the subcultures of children from immigrant families, ie the call 'respect me': respect, we are there too! Look at us! We require a minimum level of recognition. " Why do I think now these products by the thrashing girl?
Respect once sang Aretha Franklin respect, is the slogan of the rapper. This is no accident." Leftovers "from the Eminem, Usher, Puff Daddys and Fifty Cents blasting out of the nursery, is also a signal:.. It's about the mutual respect that is a democratic right, granted or simply refused
Yes, respect, and because the children respect even the teacher so, the Deputy Head at my school by their 11ern on the head patted, the same penalty to grab my phone to read my text messages, and refuse to leave my room when their time is up, a teacher is afraid that comes out that she is Wiccan, the name of one of my predecessors was Fanny Fiona on this, because in England called Fanny much as pussy, and a teacher like after marriage the name of her fiancé not accept because it sounds in English is also indecent.
Always one must make sure what you reveal. What you wear. Where one is seen. When one holds himself in the eyes of a horror movie. Where one is seen in old clothes. If you'd like to do something crazy. Who one of the School picks up.
Sometimes you can feel anxiety in the staff room. Children can be so cruel. Where is the respect?


I do not like this woman.
Want to read the article without disturbing Labern In between, if you please . Namely, such things can quite get on your nerves. Is similar to the following situation: a teacher tries to give a lesson. 45 minutes you have time for it generally. The class has 25 students (let's go from a nice small class). If each student only twice a-supposedly - make witty remark, then the 50 observations in 45 minutes, so more than one error per minute.
I can understand if a mother sees her son as treated unfairly when the boy, "says something" and then made it around. But a look at the overall picture might help?

Lactose Intolerance Statistics

Radio Angel country back on the air

am After nearly two long, internet-free, vermin-free weeks, I now back in school. All are pretty unprepared, so I do not fall on Wieten, at least not among the teachers and the students have probably mitgekrieg that wirlich not be long until the exams, so cut down the fairly pure.

My NK Elfer I'll no longer have to have your oral behind him, and for writing I'm not used since. One of the quiligeren, bold and not so good Guys caught me today at the playground, and announced proudly: "Miss, if got a C in my oral exam AC Is not that brilliant!"
Yes, it is, I'm happy for him. And it'll probably even miss.
As it stands now, I'm going to get instead of the 11 class VIII, but not a beginner in
Robert Patt, but kiddies who learn the second year German. Let's see what that is.


My size 13 got all A for an outline their course work. ^______^ I hope the note will. Now we are working on the papers.

Last Saturday we have done here Ghost Walk in Lincoln. Very large class. As soon as my brain arrived in the school day is, I post a photo.


only 5 weeks, then I'm out of here. Makes me kind of sad and not simultaneously. Very strange feeling.

Penthouse Letters Read

Nothing is scarier than a school in the holidays

Well, some things are already scary, but ... so very empty, dark passages, lights go on only if you move, freezing cold ... my fantasy film-overloaded brain gets ideas.
And the strangest thing is that the school bell rings on time, every time what I would have an incentive to jump in order for students to make the supposedly heranstuermenden place.

Yes, in fact, there are holidays, Maundy Thursday, to be exact, and I have nothing better to do than to cower in the school on the PC. Well, but most people are on vacation, Movies nothing is ordinary, it's too cold to be outside, and my DVDs I have seen all ... I begin already to look Karim films for the second time. Sad is not it?

Otherwise, only a short update on what is what else happened an extent.
As mentioned earlier, was Matthias, my predecessor here to visit. Standing Ovatins he received at the 11ern, and the number 13, a young lady in particular, were very pleased to see him. He was almost shocked when he heard that the 11 Jane in principle on its head "Petter" (that sounds kinda strange ... can you say that? * * Suspicious guck).

Had I actually mentioned the girl from the 10, which asked all Enrstes:
"Miss, Which part of Germany is Austria?"
And then complain about the home with us as PISA. Hardly anyone has heard of PISA. I mean, even I know something, and I was always miserable in geography (The Po Valley is located in Africa, did ye know not?). At least my amusement was very relaxing, especially when I afterwards Claudia, told the Austrian woman.

On Monday we were invited to Francoise home and ate in a nice pub. A very nice evening, we have the four of us excited about the weaknesses of the English school system. Pete found the Detusch Redewenung "sugar blowing in the ass" very amusing, I found out with surprise, that PISA is obviously not a very common expression not only in England but in France, nd we all agree that it is for the educational development of the child absolutely does not matter if the teachers are not allowed to write in the report anything that sounds even slightly negative. The parents could complain yes! Well, what the heck.
And I've found that for me would be not so easy to find a job in England. I would have to have this test before, whose name I have forgotten it again mchen to be approved. Well, I close it out, but it need not necessarily be. Whenever we should move to England, I do that, if not ... does not matter. First, the salary is poor, secondly, I rack my frustration in between the hairs, and third is going down (at least at this school), the status of the German of Russian and Italian. Class.

The teacher put a new one: French, Chinese and Japanese. So French: Redundant, which have really good enough Franzoesischlehrer. Chinese: I realize many people speak the language, the Economy of the country is becoming increasingly important, plenty of Chinese people around, and I have been told that the language when you're first past the pronunciation difficulties, not at all times is so difficult. So, that makes sense. But Japanese? Why? Do not get me wrong, I love the language and all, but German kick for Japan? In England?

Do not go into my head.
