    @Mary-Jane: Thanx, I'll post more Zog episodes...

    @Boer: In die "Vocabulary"-klas skryf hulle in elke klas (dit is driekeer per week) 'n 20 punt toetsie. Dit is so om-en-by 50+ woorde per toets wat hulle moet memoriseer. Ek weet dat as ek hulle nie met elke klas met 'n toetsie forseer nie, gaan hulle beslis nie die woorde op hulle eie memoriseer nie.
