Have you ever had one pupil on the lesson? And I don't mean a private lesson. I have. However, I'm really grateful that it happened, as I could look at this pupil from a different side. Normally, he was extremely shy, mumbling words under his nose and rarely interacting with me. He sometimes even ignored me and sat with his head on the table! But during this one lesson he amazed me with his knolwedge and willingness to participate and it wasn't like that just because he was the only one in the class and he was forced to. I had previously thought he was lazy and not very clever... I was wrong and I felt a little bit ashamed of myself.
Isn't it that the teachers usually do not pay much attention to those students who are rather passive and rarely say anything? That is totally unfair. I believe all students look for teacher's attention and appreciation. Soemtimes they just can't get through other students...Patryk, I'm still sorry...
