Back up again
Today's a good day. Even though it's overcast, I'm still energetic and happy.
I feel good about high school teaching right now. I was helping some girl with classwork and I felt like I was asking her leading questions rather than telling her how to do the problem. I wish these students could articulate what they are thinking. I have no idea how to help someone if I have no idea what page they are on to start with.
I guess as a teacher you want to drag out their deepest darkest secrets... hahaha just kidding
Oh and Kevin signed us up for a volleyball league... not too excited about the sport, but I like all the people so that should be fun.
Peace out homies...

i don't think you necessarily mean "leading questions". i think leading questions are what too many teachers do, in that they essentially lead the student to the correct answer without actually having to think for themselves, where as non leading questions would give them the chance to discover the answer on their own, which is what you probably did. i was helping a student last week, and was doing the same thing, and she was getting angry with me, saying i wasn't helping her, in that her idea of helping was giving her the answer. she eventually did get it on her own though...but she probably hates me.
