we learn from this story Does it show something for job interviews,Maybe it is too early for middle school graduates to take the responsibility of teaching,though there are still simple poor schools

necessary to do some homework to learn something about the company,the qualifications and so on.Many times it is we who are to blame for an undesirable experience,for an unpleasant interview,or the failure to get a position.We should know ourselves.And we should do enough homework before we go to an interview.,After Reading Activities,Discussion,What can you infer from the end of the story,In answering this question,you can consider the following aspects What kind of person is the young man Useful expressions male,is superior to female; work hard and endure hardships / be hard-working and

full play to ones talent / bring a persons talent into full play; stability of the job,Concluding Remarks,This story must have happened decades ago,because things have changed a great deal in English education.1 The conditions in English schools described in the text are not what they are today.Students are generally separated in to classes by age and taught by separate teachers.One room school houses described in the story might still be found in small village,but they are fewer and fewer.2 Croydon today is a suburb of London,no longer a small rural village and is easily approachable by public transportation.3 It is impossible today for a person without a college degree to get a teaching job in a primary or secondary school.,Express your opinion,please.,If you were the author what would you do What do you think of the headmaster If you were the headmaster,would you accept the author,I would still go to find whether it was suitable for me.Maybe I would give up the chance.It doesnt matter to me how hard the work is and how low the salary would be.It also doesnt matter who I work under.I just do things on my own.,He shouldnt judge a person just from his appearance.Still I agree that a middle school graduate cannot teach.I would not accept the boy no matter how good he was in school.I would run the school myself.I do not believe in females.They tend to be less imaginative,critical,and creative.,Education,British state schools,Old system “eleven plus” examination Under the old system,children took an examination called the “eleven plus” at the age of
