None of us want to hop on an aeroplane with a pilot who has not passed her tests. Whether called a test an audition, a try out, a trail etc... there are times when a 'test' will pop up. <br /><br />Disinterest is a blight across all society. Sometimes things are hard but they are more often than not the activities that bring the most reward. There is nothing more disheartening for a teacher than trying to teach a child who seems to have little interest in anything. Luckily e-learning affordances give us all more opportunity to find an interest or passion. The deep four is something I will have to put my mind to. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing Mark.Allan Robertsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00788438583039073142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1954670705923874382.post-46268987938172299452017-05-26T09:30:18.494+12:002017-05-26T09:30:18.494+12:00It sounds like an interesting read Mark. I wonder ...It sounds like an interesting read Mark. I wonder how choice fits into this? Obviously all those four warning signs are clear to most teachers. Having just come out of a parent meeting about one student I can see many of those boxes being ticked. But what do you do as an educator if, despite trying to provide an environment that provides (as well as one can) the Deepest Four you mention, they choose to not to engage? Food for thought though.Mrs Spragghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02820128219418363373noreply@blogger.com
