PARENTS: Find a language school and prepare for the FLAT WORLD

Your children can pick up new words by meeting students from another country.  Most Language schools are out of session during school holidays, so you can arrange to entertain or meet with students who are visiting your city.  For more ideas, visit www.FreeEnglishLessonsInFlorida.blogspot.com  

 

Why is there a need for languages?  Because US students will need to communicate with other people directly, to know what other people are saying.  You don’t want a summary, you want to know EXACTLY what others are saying.  Dan Pink wrote a book about A WHOLE NEW MIND – we need to expect agile thinking.  What can parents, teachers, principals and students expect from each other?  What can we do to produce more agile thinking?  How can we think inside, outside, on the edge of the box, under and over the box?  Before you accept the orthodox ideas, visit www.FindASmallSchool.com and join the Dan Pink revolution.  www.danpink.com is another place to visit.   Send your comments to Steve at steveEnglishTeacher@yahoo.com
