I combined two because the 6th would be irritating, after #5, so mush them together however you want to. Partly, I answered in #4. :-) All of this topic ties together, easily. :-)
The reason I asked it of parents at a homeschooling conference was so they would consider that however they thought their children wanted to "be taught," or to learn, or to be treated might possibly not be ideal. And if they had more than one child... just maybe they'd need to treat them differently. :-) It's not designed for coming to a perfect conclusion so much as it's about considering that there might be no such thing.

==What makes "a good teacher"? ==
I think the answer to that would be intensely personal? I had a *great* maths teacher when I went back to college in my 20's - but I can't put my finger on WHY she was great! She just was - I learnt heaps, picked up complex stuff - I guess a combination of being a nice person and explaining things in a way that made sense to me. Half-way through the year she went away for a few months and we got a fill-in teacher and he was AWFUL!! The whole class got super behind and didn't understand anything..the good teacher came back just before exams and held early morning tutorials for those students who wanted to catch back up.

Have you ever really loved a teacher other students didn't like? Have you ever had the experience of having "a great teacher" who didn't appeal to you at all?I hated my favourite teacher at first, almost everyone else loved her but I thought she was too energetic and enthusiastic which didn't seem sincere. By the end of the year I loved her and everyone else hated my favourite teacher! She hadn't changed at all but I had learned to accept her and enjoy her effervescence. :) Lynda |
