Grace Under Pressure

Speaking of grace under pressure, I was able to handle my new students tonight. It is quite tiring because I need to impress them during the classes online. Luckily, two rude students turned to be tamed. After their classes with me, they were able to learn two magic words: thank you and please. Can you describe a challenge for you? How did you deal with it? What kind of challenge do you expect in your future? Image Credit: cumanagement.com

@Shavkat What can't be cured has to be endured.

I do think that we all have challenges here and there. But we can do something about them confidently.

Challenge for me is something that one should win over - knowing the difficulty. Good to know that you were able to tame your students.

Sometimes I laugh about it because it should not be like this. Regardless, they need to be tamed since their parents cannot do it.

*sigh* There is a person I talk to on myLot... It's just terrible. He... He lets me tease him and he's always nice about it. I just don't know what to do anymore. What do you think I should do about him?

I am glad they learned to say thank you and please. I still remember that those were the first words that were taught to my son when he was a small child. I also remember that those words „thank you“ and „please“ were what the German parents taught to there children.

As they said, "You can never be wrong if using these magic words." Most parents teach or taught their kids to be polite as much as possible by using them.

Sometimes it is not easy to do this. There are times that they are so naughty and don't want to stop.

I tutored before with my school's tutoring club. We tutored elementary kids for a while (on zoom). There was this one kid I was paired up with a few times who didn't want to do anything, so I had to coax him into opening his work, doing it, and allowing me to help. Though compared to unruly middle and high schoolers this is probably easy.

I do agree that we need to have various methods to handle each student. I sometimes failed because it is not my cup of tea to teach young learners. But then, I need to carry out my job as a virtual teacher.
