| has anyone ever taught in a classroom or taken any coursework for teacher certification? part of the curriculum is about classroom management. it's very important for the instructors peace of mind. i really don't believe anyone needs to be screamed at for practicing fencing with another coach. When I was 7 years old I had a piano teacher who was very good, when I got to be about 11 years old he spoke with my mother and said he had taught me everything he could and I was well advanced and she needed to find me a better teachr. He was a very modest man from germany, Mr. Kunz [he passed away though] and within their means, they found me Mr. Smalley - a very nice fellow who applauded me everytime I played anything correctly, then he ran off with a drummer and we found Mr. Hedgecock, a jazz musician, who called me "flash" and taught me 86 chords in one week. I still remember my chords, that is the difference between a good and bad teacher. I can draw from 20 years ago, everything that my first fencing teacher ever showed me. I also think he started screaming because I was catching up to his two 'beauties'. I had only 1 year fencing and I was starting to beat his 9 year old fencers, or at least gave some of them a very difficult time. |
