After all, practicing in the garage is still practicing, right? And if that student gets better and then goes on to Star at state contest, maybe their parents will see their potential and become a little more understanding of their practice time. <br />Mrs. Mattsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05644342828741873700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-440729411847267380.post-58542306632600524852012-11-20T06:03:46.743-08:002012-11-20T06:03:46.743-08:00"When we stop questioning what we are doing i..."When we stop questioning what we are doing in the classroom and striving to do better.....are we really meeting the needs of our students?"<br /><br />This is profound. Education is a great profession but also a frustrating one at the same time. Just when we think we have turned the corner with a student, we are hit with a curve ball. The same thing that worked with one student will not work with another. I believe continuous learning and questioning like you mention are the most important things to truly improve ourselves.<br /><br />I think we can have high expectations that we need to practice outside of school. We need expectations like that! As long as it is relevant for the students and the homework meaningful? Michael McNeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09018216773155029971noreply@blogger.com
