So with that in mind, we can feel appreciation for the critics. I’m not able to get my head around hugging them like you suggested, but as hard as it is I can feel gratitude that they make us think and work harder. You are so right with this post. It always comes back to us and it always comes back to SLOW. Why is that so hard to learn?
Looking back into the archives nov/08 to our conversations about “slow”. More than essential. Essence.
We give into the critics (including the ones in our heads) and speed up, leaving the disciplined technique (circling) on the side of the road, and start our old foreign language teacher search for some new “tricks” to keep the critics and our fears away. Yeah, we need to get better at what we say we do.
So why does it always take me by surprise that when I SLOW DOWN and speak softly, the class reasonably quickly resolves into an expectant hush? I really do know this, I just don’t practice it enough.
Someone said in this space, “When you think you are going slow enough, go slower.” Diane? Jody? Every blog entry should begin with: “So, did you go slow today?” I echo Martha’s thought because mine were remarkably similar. The responsibility rests with us.
I wish I could give a kid a squirt gun. When they don’t understand they can let me have it. Just like a cat, I’ll learn.
This was such a helpful reminder to go slow, because many of my students (that 1/3) will get it when I speak faster, but the rest are left in the dust and don’t let me know it. Something else I struggle with is when students that miss a lot of class and are giving me ones’ and three’s when I do a comprehension check (consistently). Would they do better if I gave them worksheets? Do others struggle with this? Are there tools I can use to help these students catch up quickly?
Drew….THANKS FOR THE VISUAL LOLOL What a wonderful idea. :o) Maybe we should get the coaches some for Nat’l :o) (jk folks jk)
with love and laughter,

I vote yes. I’ll ask Lisa. Squirt guns for all. Ya go fast ya get squirted.
My comprehension check: blame the teacher if you don’t understand. Point at me and frown.
But as I often feel my students are too polite to do that, I ask them to smile and flutter their wings happily if they do understand.
Tomorrow I’m going to replace the first signal with “shoot the teacher” (“you can’t shoot them” is Hungarian slang for being unable to put a word in edgewise). Or “squirt the teacher”. Or “wake up the teacher”.
So glad you are back, Ben!!!!
Love from Hungary,
Botond
