"Success of the Day" Oct. 23

Another thing I think I do well is help students learn for themselves. One of the biggest problems with Freshman I have found is that they want you to give them all the answers or to grade them really easy. Even after you explain to them that high school is not like that they still test their luck. Some students get angry and offended when you don't give them answer. You have to remind them that you (the teacher) are on their side through this whole process and trying to help them learn. We would be doing them a disservice if we didn't challenge them. Another great thing to do is respond to questions with a guiding question. This leads them to answer the questions themselves.
