That doesn't excuse it. Excellence demands the persistent striving for what's difficult rather than surrender. If it means dressing up in a penguin suit or taking up comedy, more power to the teachers who are able to reach students through all manner of cool unreasonableness.
- talldayo 2y agoHere's hoping you're right. I've had some excellent teachers throughout the years, the real rare-odd Bill Nye types with a passion for practical science and tactile learning. Even though I loved their class, the subject matter and most of the content, I was a tired kid. I'd get yelled at for reading books and dozing off because public school is exhausting, and no matter how you cut it it's still 6-7 hours of mandatory education. I'd like to think that mixing enough sugar with the medicine helps it go down for everyone. But I also think it's difficult to make a one-size-fits-all lesson plan for more than 1 person; everyone learns differently, and I don't blame teachers for struggling to discover a teaching methodology that works for everyone. It's a tough problem.
