So I've been thinking a lot about how to teach young people. And the question is this: Do you keep a positive and patient attitude, or do you push your students to help themselves?
My INTJ music ed teacher is the most impatient person, but it seems he always has reason. It seems I can avoid his harsh criticism if I prepare as much as humanly possible. And what's wrong with that? Now, it's not good to use on purpose, but it produces a lot of good. But I think it can give kids a complex. Some of us can't think straight when he watches, and he never tells us when we do something right if its in the midst of a careless mistake. He acts like we're about to graduate tomorrow.
But anyway, aside from this guy, what do you think? Patient, positive and nice? Or hardass?
My main question is, is it alright for a teacher to have low patience for unrealized potential and careless mistakes, no matter how small?
