Do you know what kinds of things make teaching hard? It’s not just getting students to understand. How do we explain to kids not to fight when they see it all the time in sports like hockey and UFC? What about trying to teach politics when kids want to know about political scandals? What does a teacher do when the class doesn’t want to listen or everyone finishes their work at different times? How do we deal with a child misbehaving if we know they have a really difficult home life?
Brainstorm ideas that could make teaching tough and how to deal with those challenges.
