It qualifies you to have a worthy opinion about what works for you.

Are you sure that what works for you scales well? I don't remember much of day to day activities in elementary school. I did go to elementary school. But I don't think my opinions on elementary school teaching necessarily are accurate even when applied only to myself as a youngster.

One doesn't have to be a teacher to come to valid conclusions. I think though that most conclusions that don't include an acknowledgement of the importance of the teacher's personality coupled with students' personalities is most likely not valid.

I apologize if I misunderstood you, but your previous post gave the impression that that is precisely what you thought.

>> Have you taught much? When was the last time you were in a classroom?
