I’m in 10th grade, I’m Hispanic, and I live in Alabama. I’m taking college prep classes too and I’m a straight A student. Ever since I moved to Alabama in the 7th grade they have made me take an ESL test at school. The only year I didn’t have to take it was 9th grade. What really gets me pissed off is that people dummer than me don’t have to take it (not trying to be offensive). Its just not fair.

Should I do something?

I´m an esl primary teacher and i´m wondering what would be the best color to paint a classroom?

I mean if I´m gonna use flashcards, should I paint it white or gray? is it too boring?
I didn´t tell you that i´d also like th color to be relaxing, my class is a brake from the regular teacher.

I am an English teacher. I work for an important school in Bogotá (Colombia). My boss wants me to start planning a kind of Summer camp for my students. I have some ideas, but I would like to get some comments from people who have already had this kind of experience.

I have plenty of esl teaching experience. How and where can I land a job without a formal esl qualification?
