Insights of Adolescents
I mark a lot of essays, about 200- 300 a month. With that comes the ideas and thoughts of my young students. Some of them say normal things and others say what shouldn't be said and well, others give you a little insight to how our language can be changed possibly for the better. Such as making new concepts.
Teddy: "My job is to put the ball in the ball house"
He is talking about soccer, he is a striker.
Cindy. Essay Topic: Clothes.
"Every monring i am in agony about wearing clothes. I think "today, what will I wear?". Sometimes that is so annoying, but I think that is "Happiness Agony" because that means i have many clothes."
I guess we should all be happy for what we have. Happiness Agony, who would of thought.

Hi Matt,
I am going to pass your blogs website onto Jess Cornell... she is the friend that I told you was teaching in Korea next in June. :-) I have enjoyed it... so I am sure she will as well!! Perhaps it will give her some good insight into her future adventures. Talk to you soon...
take care,
