OK that's interesting Emilia. I remember when I was in my 30s I loved teaching teenagers, but 20 years later I found it really hard. I don't think the kids changed, it was me: I didn't have the same patience and the noise bothered me... Too old! :)
Yout writing is really good! Just one small thing:
to teach to new generation.= Teach has no preposition: teach a new generation of young people
See you,

Hi! In real life I have no problem with maintaining discipline. My students have in the same time respect, trust and fear...maybe my unconscious fear is not To be able anymore to teach to new generation.

Thanks for your answer (answers ...also in other units)...and I'm glad to read revision of my mistakes....I want to learn better than I can.

Haha! That is a typical teacher dream - I used to have very similar dreams. Did you have trouble maintaining discipline in real life, or just in the dream? I think teaching is not an easy job, especially if the groups are big and the students don't want to be there...
See you again soon Emilia,

Every year, in the same period, I dream the same noghtmare. It's always at the end of August or at the beginning of September.
I'm a teacher (also in the real life). It's first day at school and I have a new class. There are many students, too much, and nobody wants to sit down, to pay attention, to stop talking, to be quiet and to listen what I'm sayng. I'm not able to mantain order and discipline.
What do you think?...maybe I don't want to start to work again???
