Can we do some of that weird stuff?
Article Abstract:
The Personal and Social Education curriculum at Trinity School in Warwick, England, includes stress-management sessions for pupils taking GCSE examinations. Many pupils also attend optional stress-management classes during the lunch break. Staff at the school who are involved in this work believe that this approach gives pupils a way of dealing with the stress of taking examinations without resorting to drugs or alcohol. The relaxation sessions include head, neck and shoulder massage and breathing exercises.

The future is English
Article Abstract:
Teaching English as a foreign language is often not taken seriously as a long-term career. It is widely seen as a short-term option for recent graduates who wish to earn some money while travelling the world. Most teachers of English as a foreign language are women, many working part-time and on short-term contracts. In fact, teaching English as a foreign language effectively is a very skilled occupation, requiring a high level of interpersonal skills and the ability to analyze language.
