What You Wanted and What You Got.
We have all woken up on Christmas day at some stage and been totally underwhelmed by what we received. When you were wishing for a new bicycle and ended up with a pair of socks.
And it always started with the advent calendar. All the other kids were getting metal whistles and cool gifts and you ended up with a plastic “dummy”.
This Christmas is about Karma and will right some of the wrongs you have been dealt with over the years.
The Gifts You Always Wanted.
Here are some suggestions for gifts that are MUCH better than gift cards or socks if you have an English teacher on your gift list.
Alternatively, if you ARE an English teacher, you can leave this list open on your laptop for your students to “inadvertently” find. Or go and treat yourself. Isn’t it time you upgraded your laptop and added some speakers to play in the class?
There will be no judgments from this teacher.
