It must be a joy to have you as a teacher -- just as it is to have you as a
listmaster :-)</font></div>

<span class="gI">Thank you, dear Marlou!<br><br>Well, try to imagine "listmastery" with the addition of sound and physical interaction, e.g. me moving about in the classroom, perhaps lightly brushing the shoulder of a student as a reminder to stay on task ... (It would be nice to be able do this on Lowlands-L.) And, yes, there's the occasional hug (which is allowed in this private school). Oh, and then there are occasional tears (so far only from boys, mostly due to overly competitive attitudes).<br>
<br>I've done a lot in adult education over the decades. Teaching children aged 10 and 11 tends to be far more challenging but also more rewarding. Some of them are still "babyish" while others think and behave like well-informed little adults. <br>
<br>Another bonus is that most children have a much easier time picking up other languages (in this case Hebrew and occasionally Aramaic) than do adults.</span></p><p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal">
<br><span class="gI"></span></p><p style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif" class="MsoNormal"><span class="gI">And community-building with the kids' families added yet another dimension.<br><br>This teaching gig may have taught me more than I taught the kids.<br>
<br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA<br><br></span></p>
