In an award presentation today, a student shared her experience in voluntary services. She mentioned one important thing: pay attention to the needs of others; when visiting the eldery, she would play the role of a good listener, but when working with the kids, she would approach them actively and try to resolve the arguments that often occur among kids of different age groups.
As I listened to what she said, I was thinking whether we adopt similar approaches in teaching. In some cases we have to be excellent listeners, but in other situations we have to be proactive and even "control" what is happening.
