							| Hello 
 |  
							|              Hello everybody,                          I am Guadalupe from Madrid.              I started school with children two weeks ago, and we have to do a lot of documents that I do not have enough time to make my worksheet and look for new worksheet in the web, I do not know that in other countries you must do a lot of documents, such as plannings and more things that administration ask us.            This email is to say hello again, and I hope that I can continue here like last year, and THANKS TO VICTOR, for the notebook, It is great and my students love it.       Hugs       Guadalupe |  25 Sep 2009

							| Hey Lupe! Here in Portugal is the same. We have to do lesson plans, evaluation from our work, our colleagues and kids � work, build our own materials, cause there is no Student �s Book and the salary is so tiny that you need a magnifying glass to see it (lol)...   Well, teachers are like magicians on the stage. Need to have a great performance with less materials and of course, feel the smiles and clapping-hands from the folks.   This year my job is basicly taking care of the children after classes and administration work. You just take it easy!   Hugs   Animagus |  25 Sep 2009

							| Yes, Lupe, Animagus is right. here, we have to make our yearly planning, month planning and, in many cases, daily planning.If you want my opinion about all these papers, yes, I find them quite useful, if one gets them ready on time, but, on the other hand, where do we get the time to do all these things? Because we spend so many hours at school, and then we have 7 hours a week, working at home, to prepare what is really important, our lessons. This means our government thinks we can prepare lessons, build up printables, materials, games, google for info and clipart and ... and... and... about one hour a day. How silly and irresponsible they are.
 Take care, being a teacher is turning a dangerous job
  Hugs
