It was a scorching Saturday afternoon, but there was no rest for the determined teacher as I forwarded two listening compre clips to some students. Based on my experience studying for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, I was acutely sensitive to the fact that it takes time to train one’s ears. One day of procrastination is equivalent to a thwarted chance to improve.
Since I just played the clips in the living room, my son got to hear them too. Discussed the content a little, extracted some key words from the transcripts and crafted two MCQs. The son actually knew of the existence of “abandon” — this was what an unregulated diet of YouTube videos has done to him. Seized the opportunity to introduce “tempted” to him.
I do like the times in which I cleverly marry my parenting life with my teaching life.
Every day, tho I try to religiously keep them separated. Church and state
is compartmentalising second nature to you or it’s something that you have to will yourself to do it?
Good question, maybe a little bit of both...?
sounds like one of your inner demons? stay Zen
I like the idea of closing my laptop, and the larger world of econ/freedom ideas/Bitcoin disappears... and I can just be a dude in the village, who teaches yoga and loves the mountains.
At some level, it's nice op-sec, too; keep your public Bitcoin persona separate from your everyday life
ah I see. clear boundaries are useful
