Discussion
----One difference I've seen between the American and French responses (to many of the survey questions, but this one in particular) was that person-to-person relations seem more apparent in the American responses. For example, when asked to describe a "good teacher," Americans described how that is someone you "makes you feel smart," is "caring," who "relates to children well." On the other hand, most of the French responses focused on the professional qualities of the teacher. A similar contrast shows up in the other questions about people in professional positions. ----One point that was brought up in a class discussion was that one simply cannot translate English sentences like "I know how you feel" or similar emotional/relational statements. Is this right? How do you express this kind of statement in French? -----robin ----
