What can a teacher do during holidays? Theoretically - have some rest. But since being a teacher is not the best paid job in the world (sniff...), one may also decide to work in a summer school. And that's what I did, hence the dead silence on the blog; but from now on I will try to update it quite often. New schoolyear, new resolutions, hah!

During many years of my school education I've encountered too many teachers stiff as if they had a nice stick up their bums. I've also met quite a lot of those who wanted to be students' 'friends' - the point was we didn't really enjoy the idea. When I started teaching I soon realized that finding the right place between those two attitudes would be the key to identifying my own way of being a teacher.
