Academic teachers hate this. Most academic teachers look down thier noses at the CTAE department. If they are complaining it means you are doing something right!Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318338900830916962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725285395319049030.post-17928047341772705332009-09-24T19:23:05.369-04:002009-09-24T19:23:05.369-04:00Bruce, you had to know I was jumping on this one. ...Bruce, you had to know I was jumping on this one. For the most part our faculty is positive, but we got some of the same stuff in our school. "Why don't you do this? How about trying that?" It gets frustrating when people, who for the most part are unaware of what goes into a studio production, want to tell you how to make improvements. They forget that these are students creating these programs from scratch. Luckily most of the feedback comes directly to me and I can filter it, but it is such a heartbreaker when people focus in on the negative first, and the positive second. "Would you like some creative criticism?" "NO! I would like for you to tell the kids they did great!" I totally feel you on "leaving math at the door." Sometimes we forget that we are sharing the same kids, and we are all ultimately trying to reach the same goal.Halhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04583149546682961802noreply@blogger.com
