That's exactly my experience.
Give me a class of forty any day. It's big enough to make singing and role plays enjoyable.
Sure there will be backsliders trying to stay hidden but getting to them and motivating them is part of my task as a teacher. |

| teachingld2004, you are welcome. Miles Smiles, I don't do any preparation for meetings, as I call them, with advanced students. I do sometimes send them something I have read on the internet and found interesting and think that they might find interesting. Aside from this, zero, repeat, zero preparation. The advanced students, in my experience, are the most motivated. They do the preparation themselves; I do zero. |
