It's cold outside and it seems everyone is sick. There are about 9 English teachers in my school and it seems half of them are out with bird flu (or something like that). Now, instead of bringing in a "sub" teacher (as we do in America), a regular teacher, who is not sick, has to go cover the class. Substitute teachers do not exist in German schools. Though the students already are familiar with their "sub" teacher, the same amount of class time is wasted. The other day in one of the sub classes we watched a video, in English, on American history. That was somewhat entertaining. Today one of my favorite teachers, who regularly teachers history, was put in charge of subing for an English class. She just made everyone watch Das Leben ist Schoen (Life is Beautiful). I must say, as a student in high school I prefered videos to class and now as a quasi-teacher I still feel the same.
