I don't know Craigzy. He's right 8 out of 10 times. I teach young adults and the 2/10 only breakthrough if I make them cry. 
I help them see the absurdity of the dichotemy of trying to memorize a language while fearing mistakes. Often a cathartic realization.
It does make it competely worth all the frustration of the other 8/10 who just won't get it. It's all so simple, really.
When I do have these breakthroughs though, in those special moments, I actually would almost call myself a teacher . Almost.
But I generally agree with EM's assessment. Generally. |
maybe its because im at university, but ive had the exact opposite experience. the students really seem to enjoy the classes and the curriculum, all of them leave with smiles on their faces, and sometimes i stay a half hour after class answering their questions. again, maybe im just lucky to be in that atmosphere. |
