YellowSnow 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Author Share Posted April 14, 2007 Yes but if you want to prove you did the work so they cant contest it, it is best to get at least one item of something you worked on sent through registered post so you can back up your claims. Being credited actually means more than money because it has career value. Link to post Share on other sites

gerard 6 Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 ....Even if the head wants to be accommodating, it sounds like they may not have any systematic way of assigning credit when teachers make revisions so you might be in uncharted territory. Usually teachers (below the Uni level) don't give a toss about credit or publications. -So if the head is not able to give you the credit that is due, the important thing is that you retain ownership of the material -- ie. you have the right to publish it elsewhere. Most of my colleagues have always been very helpful in encouraging teachers (below Uni), grad students, etc to publish research and material. Credit is given where it is due --which is the way it should be, but often JH or HS teachers don't seem to really care. Link to post Share on other sites
samurai 0 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 Yeah, I think you're about right. The fact that I'm starving for a career change every time the snow melts may help explain my need for any drop of publishing credentials I can get. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 How about "Japan"? I have heard on more than a few occasions how "nihon wa muzukashii desu ne". (Not the language, the country as a whole and everything contained within!) Never sure how to respond to that kind of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 One thing I heard a few times and didn't quite get a handle on was "nihonjin no kokoro". How would you say that in English? Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 It's one of those things I can't imagine saying about my country. The "British heart and soul". Link to post Share on other sites
bushpig 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 the Japanese spirit might be a bit better. You hear people saying things like "That's the Aussie spirit!" Not that much different really. Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 "Keep a stiff upper lip old chap." Isn't that a kind of British spirit? It just doesn't have the word 'spirit' in there but meaning is similar, although perhaps slightly more negative. Not that I'm defending the UK, it sucks and thats why I left.

BeerTengoku 35 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Not that bad. Always give something back - it may be through gritted teeth but there is usually an inkling of thought behind it.

Jynxx 4 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Don't worry mate, I can't use them properly either. Me and my sister, my friend and his sister (we all grew up in London) would go out for a meal and the looks we get from the waiting staff... we even got asked if we needed a spoon which was ignored by all of us.

BeerTengoku 35 Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Honne is your true feeling(s), tatamae is the equivalent to putting on a face about them ie having a public opinion which may differ from your true feelings. Link to post Share on other sites
