And, in time, be remembered fondly as that guy who managed to start that coder community he sensed the lack of.
- GuiA 14y agoThis is an excellent point that you should look into. Of course, YMMV, but there are few things that I like as much as teaching. Doing that will also allow you to bond with other teachers, through means of shared experience.
- ced 14y agoHave you done that? I'm curious about how it goes. I feel like it would take a while to get things going.
- trumbitta2 14y agoWell, I haven't done exactly the same I suggested to the OP. BTW, I teached the basics of "websites" to a class of teenagers coming from "difficult" families. I mean, sons of pushers, thiefs, and all the rest... Plus, there was this lad, who was - how do you say that in english? - "mentally impaired"? It has been a heavy, slow, frustrating, sometimes dangerous, series of days which culminated in one of the happiest days of my life: my boys and girls passed the final exam. Even that one who was "less smart than the average guy". Best of the best? My boys and girls, all except one of them, CAME TO THE EXAM, willing to prove themselves and me that they learned something from that experience.
- rocky1138 14y agoAny example of a book or blog of someone who has done this? Would love to read this type of thing.
