Let's Make it Quick: Soporific Teaching
Let's Make it Quick: Soporific Teaching
"A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep."
Remember in high-school, when you had teachers who cared if you slept in their class? I always wanted to be a teacher just so I could be creative with keeping the attention span of the students. Nerf guns are fun, I knew a physics teacher who used them on late students. Then there's the teacher who thinks slapping a ruler on the desk does the trick. Personally, I'd call on them in front of their classmates and ask a question pertaining to what I said within the last 30 seconds. Of course, that would require me to know their names, and I've always been bad at that... I could always keep a 'nap-time scoreboard' to keep track of who finds it unavoidable to doze off. I think I actually would care if a student dozed off. I used to doze off because the professor seemed to be merely reciting information, as if he was talking to an empty room, or himself in the mirror. It wasn't that I didn't care about the material, or that I honestly wanted to sleep, but it was so difficult to stave off for long. However, I'd like to think I could present any material in an interesting enough way to maintain the attention of those I was teaching. Usually quality drifts up in any employment system. It follows the money. I think that is why I have relatively unpleasant memories of being taught in high-school. So I may never end up teaching high-school or junior-high, even if I become a teacher. Of course, that's me making the assumption that I'm quality. Kind of a big leap for me.
I'll try to keep the posts to one today, since I do have stuff to do anyway, and you, my beloved reader, probably have things to do too....

Hey, thanks for stopping in again!
I must admit, I occasionally fell asleep in class. Of course it was due to my teachers’ soporific teaching style not the fact that I was sleep deprived :)
BTW...today was a little better.
