One of the main reasons people often want to become teachers is simply because of the three months they get off for the summertime when kids get out of school. I mean, who wouldn't want 3 months off from work while still getting paid?!

In a short documentary film* produced in the 1970’s, I coined the term Total Physical Response (which is now known worldwide as TPR). The film shows the complexity of spoken Japanese that three 12 year-old American boys could understand in only 20 minutes of training.
