When a student
is not doing his work
teachers, generally speaking,
say one of two things.
They will say to themselves,
“He’s not doing his work!”
or
“This is not working for him.”
The first statement
blames the student.
The second,
blames the process.
Certainly, at times
the student is to blame
but
often, the process
is the culprit.
At the very least
teachers need to make sure
they are saying both.
But it is my belief,
that if we point
at the process
more than the student
we would see
more progress.
