It's fascinating to see the effect that upcoming grades have on student psychology. For the past 10 days, mom's classes have been so well-behaved that they could be used in a video demo for an ELS class. Mom required that they prepare a presentation on their favorite topic and lead a discussion. The results were impressive. Many students chose controversial subjects such as the war, school uniforms, compulsive shopping, body image, and more. What a pleasant surprise!
Of course, there were some who just copied a Wikipedia article and read it out. But this is hardly a surprise to all teachers out there...

Teaching abroad has been a treat comparing to teach in NYC while I was in Teach For America. My students were also well-behaved and thirst-for-knowledge.
