That means, if they give you a supply list and/or homework, you make sure you have the proper supplies AND you've completed your homework. Then, be on time, be smiling, and be open to learning. That makes you a great student. Remember... teaching goes both ways. There are great teachers... and great (or awful) students. Be great.Jeannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02206342024283098691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440603490259597083.post-28675316001508015302015-03-18T10:20:04.873-04:002015-03-18T10:20:04.873-04:00I know what you mean.

As you point out more students means less material can be covered. As it is I also have to adjust based on student skill level which varies widely between classes and between students.Robin https://www.blogger.com/profile/01240699910272614928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3440603490259597083.post-8977092397967497652015-03-18T10:00:29.040-04:002015-03-18T10:00:29.040-04:00Thanks for this post.

I have a challenge in that my boss, the LYS owner, has never taught a class, so she just doesn't get it. Even when I explain it and a friend backs me up, she sometimes doesn't get it. When the class limit is 8, please don't book me 12 and not tell me!! I did not have enough notes with me and I did not have enough time to help that many people and I did not have enough supplies for the hands on part of the class.<br />And I have never been lucky enough to find someone who will pay for printing my notes for me. That would be very nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
