5 weeks after initiating my “say only once” tactics at school, and I think there has been a substantial improvement in the children’s ability to listen. I could, of course, be imagining it, but I’m sure I find myself repeating myself far less. I’m sure I find myself repeating myself far less. I’m sure I find myself repeating myself far less.
Interestingly, very few pupils actually cannot do the exercises I give them, and those who cannot are the pupils that need help in general. I only hope I can continue on this track, and the pupils learn to trust themselves more, and not some authority who sets narrow parameters on them.
Stupid romantic, that I am.
Congratulations!
Thank you. There is still a long way to go, and it would be considerably shorter if all the involved class teachers would take the same stance. At least it’s one (of many) problem that seems to be slowly resolving itself.
