Yeah,
So I'm in my second day of a three day course, and I'm not too enthused right now. I have had this instructor before, and while he has gotten better, I'm still not convinced anyone should be paying $1,100 to have him as a teacher. Now, I ain't got loot like that, so I use the Educational Benefits at my job to pay for shit like this...good thing to, because this cat'd be hearing from me on the regular if I paid that much loot out of my own pocket. Shoot, if I don't get that much out of the class, I can at least consider it as leave from my office, but, that's not the greatest attitude to have towards learning.
The guy seems really nice, and even concerned with what you are concerned with...but have you ever had a teacher that stalls while they figure out the answer, but act like they do know the answer? Then, when they get it right, they act like they empowered you with some shit?! Aargh, I hate that! To an extent, a good instructor would say, "Let me get my bearings right so I can answer that for you" in lieu of stalling. But if he did that, then he'd be in trouble because he stalls...a lot. I do think the guy knows his stuff...for the most part. But I don't think he should be teaching on this level. Cats shouldn't have to constantly remind the dude to save and post his page so he can see his results. But whatever, we're all human. I just want to get out of this course, but since I've already been charged for it, I'll probably audit it if I can get another instructor. Then it'll be free, and I can get out of work again and I'll actually be able to learn.
See, a problem I have is, it's hard form me to humble myself to listen to somebody if I don't think they know what their talking about. Then Mr. Obsessive-compulsive kicks in and tries to find faults anywhere he can. Grammatical inaccuracies, typos in query strings, incorrect html syntax, etc. As far as any programming goes, my breadth of knowledge is quite basic, so if I have to correct you twice regarding any programming language in a short amount of time, then I can start to get indignant. Apathetic even. The kicker is I know these cats in positions like his make $800...a day!!! Dog, you doing it like that, you need to come correct. You don't have to be flawless, but command you're class room. When you lose command of the classroom, you lose respect. It's not a good sign when students start giving instruction to other students while you sit in your chair theorizing.
At least I'm trying to find humility within, I mean, I've been stumped occasionally during my tour of teaching...we all have. I just feel that if you take on that beast that is teaching, then you must carry that light properly. It's kinda like, anyone can write poetry, but everyone can't be a poet. You may know your field, but that doesn't mean that you possess the proper presence or temperament to do so. Just me thinking out loud...
Do you agree or disagree...?
PS- James, thanks for the interesting analysis of my writer's block a couple of entries ago, that bit of candid honesty will have to be pondered in depth. Bru...you got issues...but you're still funny as hell.
PPS- Am I the only one who thinks the sudden surge in hurricanes in Florida are a bit suspicious? I mean the same state at the center of so much controversy 4 years ago, is being slammed while Mr. Bush is making an extra large point of showing face there?
PPPS- I lost to Granma in her kitchen at a game of scrabble. We're tied 1- 1.
