Default Re: Forcing young students into talking

hiya Beatrix...

I've spoken with the headmaster as well as the marketing staff but they still insist on this. I didn't express that it was unrealistic tho...I just told them how it would affect the children.

Lately, I have included the parents in the demo as well. Some of the students are more comfortable talking a little bit if their parents are right there with them doing the same. Unfortunately, at this point they are just imitating their parents so I think that when they enter the classroom in a normal scenario (no parents) things might be more difficult.

Thanks for your reply. I will try and talk with them again.

Are you having difficulties with your classes? You can let us know what's up and we can try and help
