The 'never work harder than...Good point, Missy. The 'never work harder than your students' means as in the learning process - Students should be assuming the major responsibility in the learning process, not the teacher. Too often, we, as teachers, get into the routine of we take the notes, do the research, plan... deliver the 'knowledge' and students are rather passive as learners. Students need to be active learners, taking responsibility for their own growth and knowledge acquirement. <br /><br />I agree 100% that teachers put in more hours than students! And honestly... teaching students to become independent in their learning is often more time consuming in the planning process than just standing and delivering information to them!cossondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720044849447817480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684316.post-50575848387067149472010-12-14T13:14:33.030-05:002010-12-14T13:14:33.030-05:00I have to question your commandment #4.

If they did, they wouldn't be working so many 15 hour days (when you add in grading and lesson planning at home.)Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00493907071270547843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684316.post-83488122366664503132010-12-07T12:53:12.300-05:002010-12-07T12:53:12.300-05:00Thanks, PK :) I appreciate your support and contin...Thanks, PK :) I appreciate your support and continued reading of my ramblings.cossondrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06720044849447817480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5684316.post-426789466177891482010-12-07T11:40:04.054-05:002010-12-07T11:40:04.054-05:00This is really good!This is really good!PKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16323589780390089102noreply@blogger.com
