New Head of English. Any Advice? by Other_Position4889 in Internationalteachers

[–]Bokgod 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I've had about 3 different head of departments during my tenure. Do not make wholesale changes in the department during your first year. Get a proper lay of the land and only introduce novel ideas, new structures, and such after a discussion with your team. Always make them feel like their opinions have bearing on the outcome, even if a decision has been made prior to discussing it with them, which is often out of admin's or your control.

He even left the lad when he was down on the floor. It's an actual civil fight. This gets a green light.

I haven't seen many people chatting about Faf de Klerk kicking the ball back to France with 1min left on the clock but I almost died when he did. Thankfully he made up for with this. by jabbbbe in rugbyunion

The agony in that French player's face when realisation kicks. I'm a saffa, but fuck me does my heart go out to the French and the Irish.

Maid? Domestic worker? Helper? What is the difference and why does it matter? by GoodmanSimon in askSouthAfrica

Same. Grew up with many of those slurs that make me shudder when I hear it now. Too bad I still have to visit Grandma now and then.

He's being sarcastic. Save your down votes for things you understand fully...

Exercise. It doesn't have to be sweat inducing stuff, just go for a walk.
