After a semester and a half of teaching oral English, I think I’ve discovered a few flaws in the system. No doubt they’ve been “discovered” by others as well, but I’m still going to outline them for my own benefit and to vent a bit. You see, last week, only a handful of my class of 32 students actually did their homework. It wasn’t even difficult, it could literally be completed in 5 minutes if they were lazy, and yet so many just didn’t do it. At first I thought it was my fault, perhaps I hadn’t explained well enough, perhaps there was a miscommunication. But if a handful could do it correctly, I must’ve communicated to them (unless they’re mind readers)! Nope, it was simply out of laziness that they didn’t do their homework. But why should they? There’s a laundry list full of reasons why it’s not important to do your homework, or attend classes.
