Despite coming from Vietnam at the age of 17, he really speaks quite well. It's not surprising that he makes mistakes in writing that a native speaker wouldn't, especially in a document where you don't go back over it to correct those kinds of things. <br /><br />The mean-spiritedness of his comments is another matter, especially the item where he criticizes me for going off topic and wasting class time on a pointless discussion of the vowel structure of the English language. This was actually a follow-up on something that he himself brought up in class one day...that when he first started teaching, he was embarrassed by his pronounciation of the word "fact". The next day, I did a little presentation about how the vowels in English are quite different from what they are in a lot of foreign languages. I still can't believe that Mr. Tram took this as an opportunity to write me up.<br />Marty Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624084719249673373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6856782335366504160.post-18299177627741534372013-08-10T10:03:57.354-05:002013-08-10T10:03:57.354-05:00Marty,
In reading through the transcript of the p...Marty, <br />In reading through the transcript of the purported journal entries written about your student teaching in paragraphs 43,45,47 & 49 of The Statement of Claim, I can't help but wonder why some of the entries were written using poor grammar or "broken English" and why some of the entries were written using proper grammar or "good English". It would appear as though someone in addition to your evaluating teacher contributed entries and that these additional entries were written to be sufficiently negative enough to ensure that there would be no doubt about how poorly your student teaching would be interpreted. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
