I can't imagine students doing that now! I think they really do expect you to directly stream it into their heads.<br /><br />Keep trying.

I loved college, as long as I took upper division classes, because by then the students were passionately specialized. The rest caused me to have less than generous thoughts at my fellow students. I mean, when they do yoga in the morning they *are supposed to remove the plastic bag from their head first, before deep breathing exercises right? <br /><br /><br />Having been a guest speaker in classes, I found it especially difficult, more than a few times, getting folks to participate. I hate it when it feels like I am lecturing to drooling vegetables. <br /><br />Time to crack the whip!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3324795343861877481.post-55738159172941479582010-01-31T09:11:19.406-05:002010-01-31T09:11:19.406-05:00PS: Oops, RK.

The Blogger gods must be ticked at me because I cannot post on several people's blogs no matter which username I try. Maybe it's my dysfunctional computer. <br /><br />And speaking of not being able to comment on people's blogs...<br /><br />ShadyLady: Thanks for stopping by as usual! You are a good mom and I love the lesson plans you post online. She's going to be well prepared for college and ready to conquer the world.<br /><br />RK: Don't hurt your neck :)! I find that this group of students are like trained mice in lab experiments: everything is stimulus-----> response. Getting them interested in anything that doesn't involve movies, music or the entertainment industry is proving quite a challenge. Their world is full of snark... therefore, they think that it is a proper way to communicate in every setting.

When she enters college (at the ripe old age of 16) she will have a clue.

They're spoon fed the answers to the tests that the State mandates, they are taught not to think for themselves, (indeed, not thinking for themselves is lauded as a good thing, because they're just supposed to do what they're told), and so they're completely lost when they get to college. <br /><br />There is also this prevalent mentality that the world owes them something. No one wants to work hard for anything. They think it's just supposed to fall in their lap because that's how it does on TV.A World Quite Madhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173346413223847865noreply@blogger.com
