I've read the piece a couple of times and it's easy to pick holes in the grammar. But at least it is readable and understandable! For me, the beauty of a good forum is not only debate but member's personal experiences; and this we got. Some of the posts on Tvisa read as though the poster had just returned from the bar, is ready for bed and can't be bothered to put in any decent contribution. Common, English is not my mother tongue. I see myself some wrongs in sentences. Did not care to check. However, it is easier for Thai and even to native speakers to understand me than some Americans who are mumbling words and use slang in conversation. Native speakers can be of great help for advanced students. Not for an ordinal Thai school. And as you said, sharing of experience matters. Grammar probably not so much. Cheers What is muzmurray, BTW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe that's just the English in me. If paragraphs are not used in Germany please forgive my ignorance. Carry on the good work Sir. As I've often said forums are not only about debate but member's personal experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disruptive, lazy students should be rewarded so the little darlings don't get their feelings hurt. Utter nonsense. Around 5-10% of my students fail but I have to pass them. Most of these are disruptive and lazy and fail in all subjects not just mine. What school or college do you teach at, if you don't mind me asking?

Have you ever made an error while using a calculator? They should be able to do basic multiplication without electronic aids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
