In this case you and Prosser are spot on in regards to students must be provided with these habits. Imagine a world where untrained individuals attempt to accomplish very important tasks and how unsuccessful they will be. Actually, that sound a lot like most politicians, but I digress. Introducing a foundation for these students to build upon will set them up for success. Keep doing that!

I agree with you t...Courtney you make a good point. I agree with you totally. Piggy-backing on what I mentioned earlier the basic premise of success on any level is repetition and knowledge/skill sets. The students that we teach, for the most part, have no embedded skills or pre-knowledge sets so it is up to us to give them the basic knowledge and facts and then take them from there through repetition and learning, to become better at whatever craft they decide to embrace.<br /><br />I know in my field of study I have several students who are already masters of technology so in a sense they are already masters of their ship so to speak before they ever get to me. My goal is to hone their skills, help them focus on a specific area of computers or business whether it be Entrepreneurship or computers. I always tell my students that if I can focus their vision from broad areas of study to a specific area whether it be business OR computers, then I have done my job. Again, the ideas you have put forth in your class are some I hope to mirror in my own.<br /><br />Mr. H.<br />Mr. Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02569923533729018338noreply@blogger.com
