You knowing your material is one thing, but knowing how to teach - and having a certificate and some actual practice - are just as if not more important. Private schools have their own set of issues as compared with public schools, so some inside information will be critical.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260651337515659387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-34796302258878637592011-01-29T10:58:59.023-05:002011-01-29T10:58:59.023-05:00@Surly

We already know they are competent in their fields. She should not worry about "dumbing down" her lesson. The kids as a whole are going to be far more engaged and academically capable than the average State Uni. freshman.<br /><br />Nor should she try Surly Templehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05057191570792423261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-28141022929356414502011-01-29T00:03:19.227-05:002011-01-29T00:03:19.227-05:00Yeah, it's a pretty nice private school.

Honestly, anyone I know in their early teens seem to master my material better than my actual students, so I suspected ability isn't tied as much to age.Academic Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086078244493768565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2883226237165701608.post-62444145798736803372011-01-28T23:56:56.411-05:002011-01-28T23:56:56.411-05:00Yeah, a high-end private school with small classes...Yeah, a high-end private school with small classes is going to be full of kids who can run circles around the majority of first-years at a public institution.
