Pete, in my 47 years of teaching I cannot recall even one student who did
not cooperate with me .....finally. He, or she, might have had some grief
for a short time but in the end I had no problem and neither did the
student. I coached several sports in my time - a good vehicle for building
relationsips with students particularly those who have trouble learning.My
work with school choirs also helped.
I meet many of my one time students frequently, now in their 60s in some
cases, who greet me with a great deal of affection. It is heart warming
for me.
Don't worry about David's comments, Peter. This is another subject on
which he has not one jot of knowledge but he ploughs on foot in mouth as
usual.He does not know.
As for keeping up to date, Peter, I am fairly well up to date with what
they are doing in clasrooms these days. I have kept in touch with my last
school nd revisited some earlier ones for centenary celebrations etc.
Computers come into it with much better equipment than what we use, and
though I might have lost a lot of hair and be getting on in years I am not
an idiot and have kept pretty well up to date with the present technology.
In any case maths and English have not changed much and they are still
taught in our schools here.
David will waffle on with the help of the Internet. Without it he would be
lost. Let him go, he is not harming anyone except himself..
Cheers,
Bob VK6BE.
>In past postings when Bob and I got into it., There was mention
of his teaching and his students, and I told Bob, he was lucky
I was not in his classroom, and he told me , I could be so
lucky.....
In reading some of the postings to Bob, and teaching and his
comments, WE all have to remember that Bob has been retired
these many years, and if they did call him back to teach,
he might have to get a refresher and of course update
to what is taught nowadays in his country.
Bob's past as a teacher, is noteworthy. He has posted them
and others have also told me about them. There is no
grounds to attack this man on his record as a teacher
or his awards...they are there to see.
