I’m 26 old also an English teacher for primary level, would like to teach like Mr.James as funny. I teach grades 1 to7. But I love my children much, they enjoy my class too. But my Headmistress has been warning me not to keep close rapport with children. I mean If I laugh, she doesn’t like. She insists me to beat children and frighten them, rather I don’t like this. I love them as I love my Christ Jesus.

This lesson, I learnt by heart well, I got 10 correct out of 10. However, I play hooky sometimes too for other lessons. Don’t worry I never cut class on your lessons. :D
Phalla007
Well, reviewing all these expressions like “bookworm”, “learn by heart”, “ace something”, “teacher’s pet”, “play hooky”, “cut class” and “flunk out” I have remembered my time as a student at the school, lovely time, but I ask myself if someone could develop all these roles by himself, which means, one person who has experienced all these expressions in different moments of his life, it would be outstanding. Anyway, thanks a lot, teacher James, it has been a very interesting lesson.
