Total Control - an interview with Chris from Waikiki2Yanai

On November 10, 2007 in Interviews

I am happy to give you today the first of our interview with Chris Ballard, Supreme Commander (ok, I made that up :) ) of his own language school - Chris’s English School - and blogger at waikiki2yanai.blogspot.com.

He has a real love for teaching and runs a tight ship (as one should! 8) ). But more on that later. Today we are finding out why he loves blogging:

Daily J: What part of running a site is the most fun for you?

Chris: Total control. ( I have a massive superiority complex ) I honestly believe I’m the smartest person you or I have ever been amongst.
**Cough**
anyway…
I am constantly pushing the kids (not literally) and measuring them against themselves and their peers. I wanted to post a top 10 student list updated monthly and based on age v.s. ability on the net so, the blog was born.

November's Top Class

Tomorrow we’ll be hearing about how he ended up starting his own school (I promise good times). So hurry back for that. In the meantime, be sure to check out waikiki2yanai.blogspot.com.
