    Oh noo a teacher was effective teaching me something, better drop the subject.

    Dude. They saw potential in you, in your language intelligence and got you into a place where you were doing great with it.

        Not quite. There are 30+ kids in each class. No technique is perfect, and you need to look at the whole situation to make that kind of determination.

        If I scare a kid by asking them to speak, for example, and they drop the class, that’s not a teaching issue unless [insert lengthy backstory here].

        Nah, because there are countless students that “quit because the teacher didn’t teach how I wanted them to” which usually means “I couldn’t just do fuckall and pass”.

            Yeah, it means everything. Learning is work. Teachers aren’t there to put up a shitty movie and scroll on their phone. Yet countless people complain that their teachers taught them because they didn’t like the work. This guy was a prime example of that - hige results but gave up because they had to work at it.

      You missed the part about hours spend in detention.

      Punishment is not an accepted means of instruction because it causes this type of trauma response.

      They may have learned French but they also learned to hate learning French which is counter- productive to continuing with French education.

        Yeah you are right. I choose to take French because I had an interest in the subject but after her class I hate French. For example of a good teacher I hated math and was getting 30% in exams then one of the teachers was really good at engaging the class and I got 90% that year. It was form 6 math which is even more impressive because he was able to teach me all the building blocks I’d missed from over the years and the new concepts all in one year. If it weren’t for him I would have never caught up and gone on to take advanced math in uni ( which I failed but that was for other reasons)
