This is far from a perfect (or even fair) comparison, but it popped into my head and intrigued me. What would you say to someone, presumably a child of yours, who told you they were struggling in a class because the professor didn't motivate them enough?
I sat down and went over the homework with them. I understood there are lousy teachers out there so I stepped in and made sure they got it. When I could not do the motivation I found a suitable tutor as I could sure as hell not get the teacher changed.
NOt sure how that works in your comparo
Professor, not teacher. And the person in question is a college senior.
YOu asked a question I gave an answer.......and it did in fact happen in a few classes at OHIO and Herron Art in addition to grade school, Middle school and High School.
Professors are Teachers too are they not? How does the level of school affect the answer to the question you posed to parents out there? SInce you are not a parent I would not expect you to understand, but you did ask a question I felt qualified to answer. Not sure why that was not a simple :"thanks for the perspective" but you seem to want a different answer here maybe?
How hard is it to just look at an answer . evaluate it and NOT correct someone or deflect in a different answer? I appreciate your input but pften wonder why you feel so compelled to answer things the way you do.
