Scenes from the Frasier episode "Motor Skills" are used as an example of changes in learning identity.

This was one of the best of that season. You put Frasier and Niles in an auto training class together, the writers and directors had to have been salivating with what you can do with that. They didn't miss a beat. This was a classic.

This was so accurate to my own experience. All throughout high school, I was a straight A student. I had high hopes of attending a really fancy college, but had my dreams crushed when my parents divorced during my senior year, and I fell into a multi-year depression that nearly ended my life. I ended up dropping out of community college with just two summer courses under my belt. After getting my life together, I tried going into trade school to learn how to weld. And suddenly all my experience as an academic powerhouse meant absolutely nothing. It took me a WEEK to learn how to do simple flat beads on stick, and a MONTH to do my first T-joint weld without enough undercut to drive a cruise ship through. Thankfully, I didn't give up or get bitter -- I just kept throwing myself at it until even a knucklehead like me couldn't mess it up. I now have a job in mechanics, and I won't lie to you -- it's still hard. I'm really good at remembering what size bolts we generally use for certain jobs and the processes behind some of the more complicated things we do, but even if I know HOW to do it, actually accomplishing the task still tends to be difficult. I just CAN'T troubleshoot to save my life or imagine things in 3 dimensional space if I can't lay eyes on it. I have to get help a lot from my coworkers. Luckily, the guys I work with are all awesome, and you'd be surprised how eager they are to pitch in when you hand out gift cards for free coffee for their troubles. The point is: where there's a will, there's a way! I'm hoping to go for a foreman job this year, if any come up. I think I'm more suited for logistics than anything else. But I'll never forget what I learned when it comes to respecting how everyone learns and processes information differently! It would be a hard sell to say I'm any smarter than my coworkers just because I got all As in school.

You should have become an engineer instead. Trade school isn’t for everyone. Probably should end the perception that it’s lower-tier than university and bar students who did poorly in shop class from attending if they won’t let you into university just because you got some bad grades in academic courses.

@@nuclearcatbaby1131 You mean like a train engineer? Someone who drives them? I thought about it, but decided it was probably not for me because of my mental problems. Not to get gruesome, but people get hit by trains all the time, either by accident or as a deliberate attempt to end their lives. If I ever bore witness to something like that, I feel like it would destroy me and bring all those same demons I've repressed for so long crawling back. It's just not worth it. I'm happy where I'm at! I'd also disagree with your latter statement, because I likely wouldn't have made the cut, either, based on that selection process. I don't think you should turn people away who are willing to put in the work to learn, either in academics, or the trades. But thank you for sharing your opinion! I can't believe so many people appreciated what I had to say, lol.

@nuclearcatbaby1131 10 ай бұрын

@@StoutShako Well you could prevent deaths and disasters such as the train derailment in East Palestine. Our infrastructure is crap, we need as many college educated train engineers as we can get. Unfortunately it’s the students who are willing to learn that get turned away and the ones who are willing to cheat rather that make the cut. That’s why people are dying in carbon fiber submarines. I will not be getting in any spaceships any time soon either.

I SO feel like "Shirley", of the "it's down to us....and SHIRLEY", if I ever accomplish anything remotely mechanical. Many years ago I took the ASVAB series of tests pending possible entry to the military. The recruiter told me I excelled in many areas but REALLY lacked any mechanical skill set, or some such verbiage. As a very smarmy snarky 17 year old, I distinctly recall telling him "Do I look like I care?" 😁 Well, as life rolls on you DO start to care ....or you PAY for every mechanical thing you ever need....or....you begin to LEARN.

@richardludwig3673 4 жыл бұрын

It’s all about relevance. How is history relevant to them? Why should they learn it? If people are tuning out it means they don’t see a need for the material. Present them with everyday situations where knowing your material would potentially help them.

@steves1015 4 жыл бұрын

James Bowden is it one of those countries where the students cannot fail and they just pass through from year to year? If that is the case, you face an uphill struggle. I guess the best thing to do is try your best to find topics they’ll like as far as the curriculum allows (but I guess you’ve tried it). Unfortunately, I find my students show interest in some parts of my subject (the “cool” experiments) but tune out when it comes to explanation time. I don’t blame them at all. It was hard enough to understand in my native language! What I do find hard to accept is the educational culture they are used to - not allowed to question the teacher is a big one, and often I find they are encouraged to copy (unofficially of course but still an “accepted” practice) by some teaching staff. Any kids with special needs have a particularly bad time as they just fall through the system.

@linshanhsiang 3 жыл бұрын

Make your presentation more dramatic. It's not only what you say but how you say it. Speak loudly, and as far from a monotone as possible. Make pop culture references. Move around, bang on your desk. Teaching is an acting job. Act like an extrovert. Watch "The School of Rock". If you care about your subject, show it.

A lot of unnecessary frustrations comes from incomplete or not very thought-through instructions. "Twist, _then_ pull" is right on the money here. :)

I have that same issue with following instructions. My abusive foster parent yelled at me so many times for not understanding what she meant by “pull it over” while making the bed... and I always hated when people say “twist it to the left/right” because when you twist something to the left the top part goes to the left but the bottom part goes to the right, I prefer language without an orientational bias such as “clockwise” and “counterclockwise”... needless to say I would have done terribly in trade school hence why I go to university instead!
