You never know what a difference you are making in the life of a young person - especially the ones who don't seem to care! I am sorry I don't really have concrete suggestions for you to be able to make teenagers listen, participate, and excel in English, but what I do know is that you need an inner conviction that you can and are impacting them in ways that are hard to measure. You know the proverb you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Stay the course, don't let an apathetic teenage attitude bring you down, and most importantly fill your well. <br />Enjoy Spain and your new love!<br />Fondly,<br />Tracy Burns<br />Mystic, ConnecticutTracy Burnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05069900242225271773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785785328270362992.post-90689585304634389572013-10-31T17:56:27.628-07:002013-10-31T17:56:27.628-07:00Wow, Erin, it appears you have many challenges, an...Wow, Erin, it appears you have many challenges, and it is disheartening to hear about the apathetic attitude that seems rife in the student body. Don't the parents follow through at home with anything? The administration doesn't back you up at all? I would last about a week in your shoes before I had somebody by the throat against a blackboard. <br />But Madrid must be an interesting city with a lot to see and do, even if it is currently on a shoestring budget. And Nacho is your local support team, which is so important, and your family back in the States all send love and energy your way. I have been spending 4.5 hours a day commuting, and that adds up to about 3 1/4 YEARS of my life spent on various modes of commuting. As a Florio would say,"Ooooofah....." If you get really fed up, La Casa Flanagan tiene dos dormitorios flanagan adicionales para usted para elegir! Hang in there, we love you.<br /><br />PeteAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02981969153679240260noreply@blogger.com
