Teachers are great to practice on. They come in many varieties. Much like bosses, and coworkers later in life. Not all teachers are helpful and benevolent. Some are assholes that just want to skate by doing the minimum. Learning to recognize different teaching styles, and managing their expectations is a good skill to hone. <br /><br />Practicing negotiating skills by discussing vague instructions until they are defined and achievable. Those types of problems come up later in life in the work environment. <br /><br />Learning how to nail down expectations helps students concentrate on producing results that contribute towards the grades. Later in life one can trade grades for money.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01526785612420715445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8470836096122983562.post-54301495249318090592012-08-04T16:54:49.706-07:002012-08-04T16:54:49.706-07:00In my middle school in Southwest Yonkers we had a ...In my middle school in Southwest Yonkers we had a teacher who would regularly say, "you've got a ghetto mentality."

Much different for my suburban children, though I make sure they know their father's roots.John Krouskoffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466689386063550667noreply@blogger.com
