ugh. To Rev. Christian Mockery, bernockle et al.:
To say that the world is overpopulated, and therefore women should undergo forced abortions/sterilizations, is equivalent to saying that crime is rampant, and therefore criminals of any kind should be drugged and lobotomized.
Coersion and brutality is not an acceptable means of solving any social problem.
Further, the abject poverty in which many Chinese families live is more attributable to their (repressive, inefficient) government than it is to their family size.
Enthusiasm for whatever it is you happen to be teaching is key. There are no boring subjects. If you are excited, your students will be as well.
If circumstances allow, chatting with your students a bit outside of class time helps. They need to realize that you are a human being, rather than just another manifestation of The Man.
I teach high school physics, by the by.
