I said for them to wait for their study of religion class the next day for the answer. They said they'd just look it up on the internet tonight. <BR/>Kids these days have no patience, they want answers and they want them now. They can't be bothered with delayed gratification at all. The Internet has made so much information available to them they don't know how to be patient.<BR/>The bell goes for lunch and I always make my younger classes wait to leave if they all get up to go. I tell them they cannot leave until they are sitting down silently. This teaches patience. <BR/>Good post!Stillyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15066885888803034955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-29511215647359423642009-02-24T17:34:00.000-08:002009-02-24T17:34:00.000-08:00This is a great post! I enjoyed every step of "Teaching Patience." I was able to grasp a better understanding how the teaching world will be like once I graduate from college. Having the patience will build good relationships with the students, trust, and helping students learn their mistakes.Nate Pfeifferhttp://naters603.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-22225232791729427232009-02-22T16:49:00.000-08:002009-02-22T16:49:00.000-08:00Great post! I find that chunking it out is ultimately what helps students. However, I sometimes wonder if I do that too much and if students need to experience the feeling of not grasping the concept for awhile to appreciate it later.John Spencerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10956056168256756705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-38167572359073674972009-02-22T14:59:00.000-08:002009-02-22T14:59:00.000-08:00These days, it seems impossible to teach patience. Everything, as far as a high school student is concerned, is instantaneous. Need to make a phone call? Grab a cell phone. Need to look something up? No need to travel to a library, just pull up Google. This is why I like my students to do a science fair project.<BR/><BR/>By doing this project over an extended period of time, they can see that results are not immediate. You have to plan ahead and wait for things to happen.<BR/><BR/>As usual, excellent post!Jeremyhttp://seated.edublogs.org/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-17608373176299964472009-02-22T14:30:00.000-08:002009-02-22T14:30:00.000-08:00I love what you say about teaching patience. I might need a lesson from you myself. :) But seriously, students need lessons for life modeled to them by people they respect. Great point.TeachEnEspanolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01191645034619610708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19293986.post-84625107165745450652009-02-22T08:02:00.000-08:002009-02-22T08:02:00.000-08:00What a wonderful post! Having patience creates a trusting, supportive environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from their mistakes.Bettyhttp://bettyb.teacherlingo.comnoreply@blogger.com
