Comment on ESL homework
WindyRebel@lemmy.world 21 hours agoI’m in my master’s program for elementary education. If I saw this, I would just pull them to the side and ask them to translate it to me as English. If it comes out sounding plausible, I’d give them full points because they knew how to say it. They could obviously already read it since they knew how to answer the question. So the writing could come later if that was an issue.
If it was a joke, I’d let it slide but let them know that in the future I need them to write it fully in English.

Yes! Thank you! This is how it should be done. Too much of my education was ruined by burnt-out, jaded teachers who wouldn’t even acknowledge your existence or even laugh at you when you don’t understand why points were subtracted in your test. You sound like someone who’s serious about this stuff, and I’m cheering you on!

Thank you! I’m a late career changer (in my early 40s), but I am loving it so far! I am student teaching in fifth grade currently and absolutely love it. I just want to do things that help others and I feel that teaching is one of those ways I can positively impact a kid’s life.
It probably helps that I’m also a dad, so I do have that empathy and an appreciation of kids and their humor as well.
