  2. Exercise 1 BEFORE YOU WATCH How has school has changed from the times of your parents? What has remained the same? How would you describe an excellent teacher? Who do you know who is one? Explain. Do you meet people who are teachers who do not work in schools? Where did you meet them? Explain. How would you describe an excellent student? Are you one? Explain. Does having a good teacher help you to be a good student? How can the Internet help you in your study? Have you ever used the Internet for business? If so, how?

WHILE YOU WATCH Exercise2 Are these statements TRUE or FALSE? • The speaker’s parents had to take out a loan to enable him to study in the USA. • The speaker studied in Las Vegas which he thinks is an extraordinary city in the USA. • The speaker thinks that the Habsburgs and the communists had a similar approach to raising individuals in schools. • The speaker didn’t like it when his biology teacher told him he was wrong. • When the speaker arrived in the USA, he was shy but he changed quickly. • What interests the math teachers in the USA is how you arrived at your result not the result itself. • Ataxo is a search engine organization for marketing professionals. • China has a faster growing middle class than Brazil.

  6. Exercise5 GROUP DISCUSSION • Any family in Czech Republic can apply for a permit to homeschool their children for primary school, ages 6-11 and (provisionally) for secondary school, ages 12-15. What is your experience with this method of education? Discuss the pros and cons of being ‘home schooled’. (i.e. children are taught outside of the formal education system at home and go to school every half a year to pass subject tests until age 15.) Are you personally for or against it? Does your opinion differ from that of your parents or guardian? Discuss with the whole class. Make some conclusions about both sides of the issue. Where does your teacher stand on the issue? • Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of retrieving information from the Internet versus books and libraries.
