That rocks. I'll be teaching comparable ages, I think - high school kids, though I'll most likely start with the younger ones (12-15)... since I'll only be 20 next year anyway.

I'm only 4-5 years older then my oldest students

If needed I'll still kick their asses though.

I have experienced that small age differences often work best. That doesn't always go though, especially not for the trainee's. God, we slaughtered that poor physics guy......

I do intend to become a teacher somewhere in the future, but it might take me some detours before I do.

The organisation that organesises the studying camps I go to ( www.anderwijs.nl ) uses university students to aid the high-schoolers. That works great, even though there have been cases where the participants were older then the management.

Tiara, is the Truman Doctrine the same as the Marchal plan (sp?)?

Setekh not you too!?!

High school teaching kicks arse! Don't worry, I'm going to be teaching software. I'll raise the kids on C++ and introduce them to a certain thing called the FreeSpace Source Code Project... all part of the plan.

The Marshall plan is something I managed to read before doing the test, so here it goes:

The Marshall plan with sending goods, cash and loans to country's hit by WWII. I forgot the numbers, but it was big. Stuff like tractors, clothing, food, industrial equipment and building materials got sent over. It did not include any military aid.

Not exactly but they are both aimed helping other nations after the second world war. But the Marshall Plan was more aimed at Western Europe and the economical aspect and not the military aspect. The Marshall Plan also wasn't designed to combat Soviet influences as it was only to be instated in Western non-communist countries. the Marshall plan is also called the 'European Recovery Program'.

This program helped to re-establish trade routes in mainland Europe, strengthen the economies, keeping tabs on inflation, etc. All of which was caused by WWII and the German occupation.

Heh.. I dropped in on a couple of my old teachers unannounced a while ago...
One of them looked up when I knocked and said "No! Get out before you corrupt my students!"

[Corsair]

I didn't like Dutch history...learned some of it in Euro this year. Confusing as hell. But maybe that's cuz we went through it so quickly since it's a little, insignificant nation...
*runs*

Yay for your class though, Miss Axe. I guess you did a good job...

[Turnsky]

Teachers are alright, it really depends on the personality on the teacher.. my personal favorite was my high school chem teacher..

i mean, wouldn't you learn a lot in science when the teacher shows you how to distill alchol and make explosives?

oh, and we had a teacher that passed a remarkable resemblence to this:

[Flipside]

hehehe Well done! I wish I could get our trainees to pay as much attention, they seem to be more concerned about where to get their next batch of weed from..... Still, I don't suppose that's so much of a problem there, you ALWAYS know where your next batch of weed is coming from
Besides, Training Providers are kind of unique, as in we take on the people who no-one else wants, basically, we have a very good success rate, all things considered.

Just want to point out that without Holland, England would never have develloped their navy as much as they have.

Consequently, without Holland the French might've controlled New York (New Amsterdam) ( Seriously).

Without Holland's flood control inginuity would've caused a lot more damage. Even today Dutch experts are sent all over the world to help with dam building etc. Like in China currently. And even in America.

Without Holland the Spanish, English and French would never have received an ass kicking before modern times.

Without Holland there would probably not have been the Maastricht agreement.

Without the Dutch resistance in WWII the Americans and other allied troops would've had a lot more trouble recapturing German held territory and would've had a helluva lot more trouble even getting into Germany itself.

Without Holland the world would never have enjoyed the Dutch superior submarine training.

Without Holland we'd still have much less freedom. (See the right to decide to die if you're terminally ill, to use soft drugs, to use soft drugs as a medicine. (Remember, soft drugs is WAY better then alcohol ) Gay marriage would still be outlawed (although 'certain' people still despise us for that. @ those people)

etc

etc

etc...



For this little 'insignificant' country we've had a big impact on the world.

Tiara must be hot. You always learn a lot from hot teachers. Or nothing at all. Depending on the situation of course...
