Default Hi, its really good to get a reply after so long...

Hi, its really good to get a reply after so long.

Whats it like teaching French in schools in your opinion - are you in primary or secondary? I am personally interested in primary but all the tips you can give me would be helpful (for example in the small towns do you find that the behaviour of the kids is better? Here in England we're finding that the behaviour of school kids seems to be getting worse and very ill disciplined and in places dangerous - but only in big cities.

What is your regime like as a teacher coz in England theres now lots of paper work red tape and targets etc compared with say 10 years ago - is it like that in your part of Canada?

I'd appreciate your thoughts

Oliver.

I was even offered a job teaching immersion, and I am NOT fluent.
