RE: Letters and numbers don't go together in Math - Part 3 - Learning disorders
Very true. We have developed a course on critical thinking and emotional intelligence. You won't believe how difficult it is to sell these courses. Most parents expect the teacher to take the role of both the teacher and parent as they don't teach them much. Had my share of this in life, and now focusing to be the best teacher ever....and I teach my kids to think critically. We have many class discussions, and they know by now that I always give them something to think about after a lesson. Thanks for your comment. I love that we have become friends here!
Me too... You're one of the few that I look forward to discourse with! Somewhere along the line the parent/teacher role became reversed. I think economics has a lot to do with it. Now the economy is so bad that both parents have to work so the teacher gets saddled with much more than they bargained for when they were in college lol! I think that you're part of the 10% that belong teaching children... Most of the teachers I met, I wouldn't want my kids to even associate with. The Univ. I went to used to be Michigan Teachers College and the Ed dept. is still the biggest in school... It seems to attract the worst students.
