460. Can my children fly that high!



One day teacher of English A said to teacher of English B, “Some days ago one colleague of ours met with a student’s father, in a tutorial. This father reprimanded his son, sort of: ‘You’ve got to become a useful man in life!’, ‘When are you going to mature?’; also 'There is no employment?, that his student had to fulfill his duty... This colleague of ours suggested to this father that besides all those reasons, why not listen and retain his son’s problems and small trifles – not trifles for the kid, maybe blarney for the father. This teacher told this one how to ask and listen to the kid, how to ask questions that would hit the target of the problems, to paraphrase the kid’s statements, how to ponder about the teen's arguments, how to nod when listening to the kid, how to reason and to make reasoning, how to set short-time and attractive aims...” (“blarney” is an Irish expression that means “nonsense”). Excuse me, Denisse. / Photo from: parapente_landing www amanecerin es
