      Special recipe

      Have you ever thought to list the things students generally don't like? I found someone who did it.:) This is a very great list especially for novice teachers. Here is the recipe. Students don’t like…

       

      1. Listening to a teacher who is speaking all the time.

      2. Listening to a teacher without understanding what he or she is saying.

      3. Listening to a recording without understanding what is being said.

      4. Being called on when they don’t know the answer.

      5. Being asked a personal question or a question they don’t understand.

      6. Having to put up their hands all the time.

      7. Having to speak/recite in front of everyone especially when not prepared.

      8. Receiving loose photocopies that have to be filed.

      9. Receiving odd-shaped photocopies that have to be filed.

      10. Carrying around a heavy textbook the teacher uses only for 10 min.

      Some pains are avoidable whereas others aren't. My kids don't like taking tests or quizzes but they have to endure it anyway...
