I hope Delma will find the room for breathing through such good students' pure kindness. <br /><br />"Good" students usually end up teaching at school; but not all of them will become good teachers! I was very passionate about what I was learning and tried to absorb as much as possible when I was a student. But since I was good at teaching many things to myself (so I thought) and loved learning very much, I expected that it would be infinitely easy to make my students academically on fire... (well this doesn't sound right but you get the image? No? Who is the teacher now! -just kidding lol) <br />So anyway, I used to get upset with fellow students who asked our teachers meaningless questions, teachers who wasted so much time for explaining the easiest concepts and then those students kept sugarcoating their remarks purely with their personal opinions. They didn't seem to learn no matter how much their teachers guide them not to do it in class. I was so furious and frustrated!!!! Yes it's not hard for an intelligent person to become a pompous scholar with big words and no heart. <br />As a teachear now, however, I learn everyday how important it is to engage all students in each class and encourage all of them to learn in accord with each one's capacity. It's a bit like raising children. You don't favor one child at the cost of another but try the best you can to make both of them become better than you are (as Plato says). I love how each class has its own personality and some students bring me the questions that I never thought of. Of course, some of them are brilliant and others are crap shot. But I always appreciate all of their tying. Facing students' questions are like getting presents that you never wanted. You would either love or hate them if you are looking for something good for yourself; but you will love all of them if you care about the persons that are giving you :) Okay I talked about myself like a boring teacher at UNK seminar class! we would love to hear more about your teaching!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08149072163410104588noreply@blogger.com
