TO MY ETHICAL PEEPS...

I am so sorry I was not able to make it today...I am down with Gastro-Intestinal Flu...bummer!...not to mention, it hurts like crap! I sure hope everything went well in class and you guys were able to complete the tasks I assigned. I actually just woke up from my "slumber" to grab something to eat and take my medications...so I thought of doing this before going back to bed...!

As always, respond to the following please...simple as that! You have until Sunday, 30 September 2007, 11:59PM, to post your blog.

Take care all of you and see you next week...I hope! I will be off to Bumrungrad Hospital tomorrow for a blood check...those of you who are meeting your contact orgs over the weekend...make sure you have your proposals and suggestions with you to present to them. Do not meet with them empty handed! Be good and stay safe...CIAO!!!

Then simply explain why you arranged it in such a way and what method did you use in deciding your choices, what factors affected your decision, etc.? Make sure to analyze your response well and do not do this for convenience sake...if you know what I mean...!"

GREETINGS ETHICAL PEOPLE OF MY CLASS...

It's that time of the week again when I will be troubling you with your insights on our short discussion debate on the issue pertaining to "The School's Responsibility". After having the session, do you still strongly support what you defended earlier or have your views changed? Do you see and understand the point the other group was trying to deliver or do you still strongly believe your side? Think about our many discussions and the topics we have taken up in class since we started and try to relate it with those for reference purposes.

However, I do not want you to post your response on this blog but rather require you to post it directly to my mravua@yahoo.com e-mail...for safety purposes. If I feel your individual writing has depth and a good clear argument, then I will be posting it on EDLINE for everyone to see, of course, without any names included. If your post gets published, then you automatically get a perfect score and would no longer need to defend your claim in class (one on one!) with me. You have to recall the discussion very well and you have to have "conviction" in stating your stand.

Of course...as always...it's not going to be that easy. There's always a catch! You should have between 3-5 paragraphs only, since I do not intend to read sixteen "novels" over the weekend, and none of your paragraphs should go beyond 12 sentences. Difficult?! Not really...if you plan and draft what you intend to write first and how you intend to present your claim.

That's All Folks! Have a GReight weekend and be safe all of you. Be good and study well...we might have a QUIZ next meeting...HINT! HINT! God Bless...CIAO!!!

ETHICAL PEOPLE of my class...

First of all, I would like to apologize for having you wait...and wait...and wait...and wait...! To cut the long story short, I have ALL your online test questions on my thumb drive which got busted yesterday afternoon in school. I was at Panthip Plaza most of the day today trying to find a decent person who would be able to retrieve all my files (grades, lesson plans until the end of the semester, tests, mapping, curriculum, etc.) from that busted thumb drive so i can transfer it to a new thumb drive....but to no avail. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE IT!

I would like to inform you now that instead of the online test which I had told you I was scheduled to give you, I am just going to have to give you the test on the movie we watched on Monday morning, 03 September 2007. Please prepare well for it...!

I hope you all do understand...! As you can see, I have my entire school life in that thumb drive and now I have to start my five months work all over again from scratch. I am really sorry about this. Thank you...CIAO!!!

Mr. A
P.S. You have until Thursday, 06 September 2007, to respond to the other blog on the school's role...!
