"I've fallen, and I can't get up!"

[xp_cyclops]

I'm certain many of you won't get the joke in the subject line, being so young and all.

This is just a note to say yes, I am here. You've seen me around school, just not on the boards. I got behind on reading all these posts, and after trying to catch up, I realize I'm just not going to be able to.

So, I'm starting from now. If there's something I should see, please feel free to point me to it. And if you're new and we haven't met, drop me a note or come by my office, or catch me in the hallway and introduce yourself.

Who are you, again?

~translation from the Castillian~

I take it that you occupy some sort of staff position here?

I am Manuel de la Rocha. The name will mean nothing to you, but I was also called Empath. I am here at Ms Frost's behest, and I am currently hating these plebean classes that Xavier insists that I take.

I am also undergoing physical therapy to regain the proper use of my rather battered body.

Yes, I am a teacher, Manuel.

I know who you are, but thank you for the introduction. I look forward to meeting you in person.

As for ESL, would EFL be a better term? It stands for English as a Foreign Language. A more politically correct term, to be certain.

And if you can test out of mathematics, there's no need for a remedial class.

Yes, EFL would be a more accurate term. And I can test out of this maths course easily - if someone would translate the test into Spanish for me.
