Praise students' effort and struggling, gently, but do not praise his qualities, aptitudes... because these latter ones lead the kid to vanity.

1189. A sere education is necessary

Image
According again to Alejandro Llano all this education passes through deep tutoring sessions, going to specific details and actions.  And of course the first role of education is in their parents’ hands. Parents are the main educators of their children, and they turn to schools because they don’t know physics, Latin, etc.  Thus, the school’s labor is subsidiary.  Parents should talk with their children in an easy way, also they should transmit values, both by means of setting an example and by talking.

3243. Before the New School Year!

  Welcome if dropping by my blog. I was thinking that we teachers should be very human and humane with our students, maybe now and always, maybe right now that we are about to start a new school year.

We had stopped our English classes for a while. And at home I had a mental peek at how my students were doing, and how I was doing as a teacher myself. Just to detect failures in me and in them. Also to find out what was turning out fine.  And all that is just something simple, even intuitive. It’s like keeping track of how things are going. And all that does not necessarily mean you as a teacher must do something else, apart all your workload, which may be almost huge.  If you stop to think of it, it may be something we teachers may inadvertently do when lesson-planning – even more, it is something we actually do when lesson-planning!  But I mean here to carry it out in a bit more aware way, and like something special at some breaks – Christmas, the Holy Week at southern Spain, and fina...

1477. A tip for being happy

Gregorio Marañón was a famous Spanish doctor, humanist and writer, so an authority to take into account. He said, “Amar y sufrir es a la larga la única forma de vivir con plenitud y dignidad.” Or what is the same, Love and suffering is for longer the only way to live with fullness, plenitude and dignity. / Photo from: Our-Driver www hampsteadpals com
