You get me a room, I'll get you anything you want

I'd feel cheap stopping at just one beer though

OK-later Scayde. Sleep well.

Please, don't wish bad things on me

@T...pay no attention to the gentle thing.

I am off, before I get to wound up to sleep. Now, all I need is to catch Alice Cooper before he dies.

@ BS Hmm maybe I shouldn't tell you this..Alice Coopers playing at the end of Sept. here

*rubbing it in aren't I?*

Goodnight *hug*
@ Ty I should probably get going too

*hug*

Tybaltus · Post by **Tybaltus** » Thu Aug 29, 2002 11:42 pm

Later BS. Take it easy.

I shall be off aswell, as much as Id like to stick around, its late. So sorry to leave you all alone, T'.
Later T' *hug*

EDIT-I see we are all going to bed at the same time, so my statement about leaving you alone, T' is no longer applicable.

Ah well. Good night everyone.

You would think hanging around with the SLURR's and the likes of CM, Mah and more recently BS. You would get a good understanding of how SYM works, but the place just keeps surprising me.

The journey towards an understanding of SYM is a goal in itself

Well that is very nice for you to say. But self confidence is also something I lack....And I cant imagine spending all that time correcting papers, and dealing with kids. I mean I cant handle 2 ten year olds, they can run amok, and I wouldnt be able to do a thing. I imagine I could deal with any grade 7 and up. Control factor and respect factor is higher in those grades, making it easier. But if I were to decide for that field, now would be the time to think about it, now that Im starting college.

Ty, if I (who has neither parent as a teacher) can make a good teacher (and I've been told I do, despite not having done much in the way of teaching, just a little tutoring) then you should make a fine teacher.
So far the basic thing I've found is treat your students with respect, and generally you'll get it back with interest. It's very much you get what you give, as you seem to have figured out.

Besides that, all I really know is that the best way I've found to teach is to show students the way to do something (make sure they understand the theory, of course) and then let them do it. The more they get things right the better their confidence will get, and the more they'll get right in turn.
Basically teach them to figure things out for themselves. Don't try to control things too much, that's not learning/teaching, the trick is to make them want to learn, or at least to get things right.

But then again, I'm good with kids, so that helps a lot.

@Scayde-Another one who can't be bothered with sports talk, I see. Good stuff!

@AC-Is it even possible to have an evil giggle?

This is a long thread.

[/spam]

I did some teaching for a while a year ago: I taught Latin to some primary school kids in an after-school club. It was an...interesting experience. I did it with a friend, so it was easier to keep control. One observation I made was that the behaviour of the kids dropped dramatically when their usual teacher was sitting in with us - probably something about showing off. We tended to run very relaxed classes - as we didn't have any actual authority, there was no point in making empty threats - and it worked, as we managed to keep their attention for most of the time. That seemed to be the key - you have to keep their attention. Break down lessons into small chunks, and don't concentrate on one thing for too long, especially with younger children. All in all, I had a lot of fun doing it, but at this point I wouldn't want to do it as a career. There are far better-paid jobs out there

Only I can do it.

Yes, this IS a long thread. Better get T' to close this thing up already.

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 1:48 pm

Close it? are you nuts?

Or Aqua-chan could delete the thread and single-handedly wipe out Tybaltus's post count.

My thoughts exactly. See how long it can go before one of the mods closes it anyway...10,000 would be a good target

HLD - great idea

Bloodstalker · Post by **Bloodstalker** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 1:51 pm

That is an interesting proposla HLD

Then if the DF tavern was closed, Ty would have like 200 posts

Tybaltus · Post by **Tybaltus** » Fri Aug 30, 2002 2:18 pm

It's been a pretty slow day. I'm just in for a quick second before calling it a day. IWD2 is calling . . .
