I know a lot of you guys are back in school now, so what are some of the different types of students you've noticed?
a few
The Mom
Middle aged, frazzled looking, rolling suitcase, constantly rifling through a ziplock bag of snacks,
will occasionally bring at least 1 toddler to a session who can only be kept quiet with a highlighter and
notebook paper for about 10 min. Never align yourself with this woman in a group project, might do the work
but she will never be able to meet up at YOUR convenience.
The Old Person
He or she is old, and this new world is frightening, so they will have lots of questions
sometimes resulting in the session running long or unnecessary homework.
One of their children probably got them a computer 8 yrs. ago that they never bothered to turn on
but they expect you to teach them everything about your laptop in one week.
Steer clear of this person in group projects, you will spend more time explaining how to add an attachment to an email
or how to save things on a flash drive.
The Triple Threat
This is the girl you want
1. She is generally decent looking and smelling, (though she may over do it on the body mist)
2. She is there at every session
3. She would rather do the majority of the work, than trust any of it to someone else.
Find out who this girl is early because she will be in great demand.
