HOW TO DRIVE YOUR STUDENTS CRAZY IN 45 MINUTES


One of the things that drive more crazy students is when you have been waiting  the teacher for 5 or 10 minutes and when he/she opens the door after trying it with all his/her keys he/she says “It isn’t so difficult to start on time! Come on you are so slow!”

Then the teacher keeps in silence till everybody stops talking and sits on the chair crossing legs and arms and says: “Ok, I see that you don’t know how to be in silence so now we are going to practice it. We are going to keep 5 minutes without talking; if anyone talks, we are going to start again!” After 5 minutes in silence, the teacher says “Can we start now?” asking it as if we could answer him/her.

The teacher stands up and starts explaining the new lesson exactly the same way that is in the book, even the same examples! It represents that if you are a teacher, you know what you are explaining and you have an idea of the examples that you can give!

The problem comes when he/she starts writing something on the board and he/she writes like a doctor. Then you have a problem because if you ask the teacher, he/she will answer that you were not listening to him/her and if you don’t ask it, you will not have all the notes completed.


When it’s about 5 minutes to finish, the teacher says “Ok, now you have to do page 5 and page 6. You have time to do it now. If you don’t finish it, it’s homework for tomorrow”. And you are thinking: do you want us to do two pages in 5 minutes? We are not superwomen!!
