Enter your vote today! A new poll has been created for the dogme group: Should the dogme discussion list be "open" or "closed"? ("Open" means that anyone can...
R. Haines--Thanks for introducing yourself. You welcome suggestions and comments--right now the only comment to what you said is a sincere "Sounds great! Go...
Isn't it a bit early to vote yes or no without examining other possibilities? Is it possible to bar individuals from posting, even if they are non-members....
Dairmuid has put the argument quite exquisitely in abstract terms (see below). I would like to add some examples... [I will take this opportunity to restate my...
For what it's worth, I think the group should be kept open. Although the staffroom spat was pretty entertaining, (and in some ways enlightening), it didn't,...
Okay, I'm new and obviously out of the loop. Can someone fill me in on the recent events that have led to this debate about the group being open and or closed....
You can read all about it if you go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dogme/ and have a look at the archives, Romiha. Incidentally, I second Dennis' (I think)...
I've read through the archive and cast my vote based on the material I found there. The incident has generated debate and reflection. Sounds like a healthy...
Now, let firstly state my complete and utter delight at having stimulated such heated debate. It tells me you have all been happily patting each other on the...
(Thanks, downunder--we needed that. I did, anyway.) There is a story about Gertrude Stein (told, I think, by Alice B. Toklas) holding forth at a dinner party...
Aaaaaaaaah Petr me lad, a man after my own heart. Sarcasm with interest. Thank you, just what I wanted. Now, re the defences, was my criticism a support of the...
Dear Teacherethical, I enjoy discussing TESL/TEFL matters, including the dogme approach, and talking with a sceptic is an excellent way of clarifying one's own...
... Thanks for the link, Scott. I thought I would find some chuckles there, but unfortunately the hate shone through too brightly to leave any room for smiles...
I have to agree with Grumpy. I went hoping for a few chuckles, but there are few. Too many bitter 'I-don't-know-why-I-waste-my time-with-them' posts. For what...
Diarmuid, Ugh! I agree. The last thing I am is prudish, but I, too, found the bit about shagging students distasteful. I think the list needs to think things...
dunno if it's anything to do with the new settings Scott mentioned, or if it's just my problem, but I've not been getting most of the postings in the last...
Aaah, I see you have found the I hate teaching English site. One of the funniest sites I have ever seen. I agree that the bit about shagging students is in...
I teach for more than 30 hours a week to both young learners and adults. I teach adults to keep touch with that area of teachưng and also to try out new...
I must admit I find The Other Site deeply offensive as a woman, a serious teacher, and a DOS, particularily the Know Your DOS portion. I work hard at what I...
Scott, I know exactly what you mean. It's always embarrassing to catch someone lying, but Ug really brings it on himself. He finds the comments about shagging...
Please take the time to read my post carefully again. I said that I take inspiration from this and other sites. By attempting to use some Dogme principles, I...
Dear teachethical!!!!! Sorry I missed this but I was away in Romania doing some training (for 10-14 year old kids from beginners upwards). ... country? Or are...
... I had the same problem. Does anyone know a trick to get in? It's well over a year since I joined and for the life of me I can't remember my ID or ...
Teacherethical (?) asks "how you do dogme with ten seven year olds, five days a week for three hours every morning. Replies? None" I wonder why we bother...
Dear T-E, I teach 30 (thirty) Nine-year old student for 30 (thirty) hours a week. I have never had the pleasure of 15 hours a week or 10 students in a class. A...
The assumption that you know more than all the authors of all the text books ever written. This is apparent because you believe text books are unnecessary. QED...
I understand the underlying assumption as being that we know what makes our students tick better than some coursebook writer who has never met our students and...
