Rules of Teaching Part Four

41. The indivdual is always their own last chance.
42. You maybe the individual's first choice. You maybe their only external authority or personal chance.
43. Use arbitrary circumstancs and commands to develop communication with extremely quiet kids. "Where did we leave off...et al"
44. You are only in charge if you decide to be.
45. "Nobody knows themselves" Toivi Blatt, Holocaust survivor.
46. Don't say "I;m not mad, but..."
47. If students act with uncertainty, force them to demonstrate what they know.
48. If you are disapointed, you need to explain to everybody. Do not be quiet, do not sulk. You have the right to intervene.
49. Sometimes there are no shortcuts.
50. Teachers assume that students will ask questions if they are confused. This is a mistake.
