I am just wondering how some of these tips in this forum could be put into practice. One practice that was talked about was making students stay after class if they were late to class, late in turning in assignments, etc. Are you working with elementary students, high school students, or adult students? At the school where I work at, NONE of the adult students would EVER put up with this practice by teachers and would also run to administration if we were even to enforce it. It seems that the students that we are working with " feel entitled" and always remind instructors of "how much they are paying for this education." They also think that we have an obligation to teach them everything so that they do not have to do any reading on their own and that if they do not "get it" it is our fault. It is not just one teacher who fells this way, but many of the ones that I have talked with feel this way as well. Furthermore, I have noticed a vast difference between students at a career college and those students that I used to work with at a university/state college. SO..what practices can we use with adult students in this case? Thank you in advance for your help.
