| u ain't done; u still dropping knowledge. u've reminded me of a TV special seen a few years back. A geometry teacher would take his students riding public transportation and explain how it and physics (I think) are all up in city layouts, bldgs, roads and hwys. He didn't leave'em wondering about usage.
For those who still have children in public or private schools, I've always told ours to ask teachers: "How does this apply to me? and How can I use this in my life?"
Another tidbit, one of our granddaughters (in public elementary skkkool) was complementing her, while saying she was arrogant. I went off, on hearing it. Told her to ask teacher what he meant and that granddaddy didn't like his baby characterized as arrogant. He apologize and told her he didn't mean it in negative sense. I hope she peeps, what I'm always saying to them: make sure u understand what a teacher is writing or saying.
OH! one more: all of ours are taught to not be concerned with "grades." Concentrate in understanding whatever is taught and how it relates. Grades will follow. If grades don't follow, no problema. They'll know how to use it. |
