In the first week of the school year, I train them to use the Ctrl-S (for 'superintendent') key combination whenever the classroom door opens during a lesson. Irrespective of who enters the room. <br /><br />By pressing that key, all computer screens suddenly show a fake page from the 'state test training' programme. Superintendent happy, students happy that he's happy, me happy that everybody's happy.<br /><br />In between the superintendent's visits, I teach. And my student's learn. We all hope that he doesn't find out about our illegal activities, or he will ruthlessly put an end to them forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3176901787520886426.post-412676893384544682011-05-02T09:50:06.781-07:002011-05-02T09:50:06.781-07:00Yes, easy to score and to look good at.
