Show Demonstration

Posted by KB on October 15, 2004 at 16:36:12 from (67.165.101.185):

Our club with be doing our Apple festival show this weekend. Prior to the show (the last two days) we have kids come in from the local schools to demonstrate various pieces of equipment and life in the good ole days. Anyways, my part was to talk about the shingle mill and the such. It just amazes me the difference in the kids depending on the teacher. I had groups where the teacher took an intrest and maintained control of the kids and groups where I had to try to keep control of the kids. I guess teaching is like every other profession; some get it and take pride in it and others collect a check. I had some teachers that would correct the kids for misbehaving and asking questions that really didn"t apply and others that were looking around at everything but what they were supposed to. I guess in my wierd view of life I would say that the teacher is in a leadership role and should set the example and set high standards for the kids regardless of weather or not they are intrested in the subject or not. Maybe I am crazy? Anyways, the absolute best group I had was a group of home schoolers. This was the only group that had an substantial age range and they were well behaved and ask really good questions. I must admit I am partial to them since we home school our 2 kids but you see such a tremendous difference.

Sorry for the long post just needed to vent a bit.
