“It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
Hello there!
My name is Cedric, and I’ve been an English teacher for over 11 years. I have taught elementary, high school, and university level students (high school was my favorite).
I have taught English as a Second Language overseas (in South Korea and Thailand) and I currently teach ESL online to adults.
Being a teacher is a very rewarding experience. There have been good and bad times of course, but overall it’s been quite positive. I’ve learned a lot about people in general, and teaching is one of the few jobs where you can actually have fun while you’re working.
Having said that, I don’t agree with the direction education has been going nowadays. More and more I have this feeling that we are leaving our young people behind and letting them down.
I’m here at One-Room Education to talk about that. I hope you’ll join me and I look forward to hearing your opinions!
