Here is another post about that post that you were refering to,

written by Jason B. You might like it. Check out the metaphor and

notice how it is very close to what you were talking about. Sandy

Hi,

 

Good Samaritan: "You should get out of here! There's a fire in the

apartment below you!"

 

 

 

Yes, I see what you mean about Jason's post, I read it earlier today. It made me think, however, about our public school system here in New York (and probably in other states, as well). Teachers only know one way to relate to their students, and have not learned to be flexible and alter their mode of transmitting information in the three primary representational systems. So, therefore, I think, a lot of students get left behind from getting a good education (relatively speaking).

 

I think having flexibility in communicating is crucial for those who are inclined to teach others, otherwise it is lost on everybody who is not adept in the "teacher's" communication style. Expecting a kinesthetic learner or an auditory learner, for example, to "see" things from a visual's teaching style is an exercise in futility. Unless the learner is aware of the primary representational differences between herself and the teacher and has the appropriate skill level to make an internal shift, the lesson usually falls on "deaf ears".

 

I think that is where Doc is very intuitive and wise.. He seems to know how to communicate with all the "elements" on his lists, where few "feel" left out.

 

Too bad the sleepy fellow died (In Jason's example).....If the Good Samaritan had more flexibility, maybe he would have been successful in his efforts, rather than escalating what apparently wasn't working. Continuing to do what does not work, hardly will yield different results. He should have considered changing his approach to what might have worked, instead.

 

I wonder if the good samaritan were to come across a similar situation in the future and having had the expereince of a failed tactic, might he change his approach or continue to do what failed? Hmmmm

 

Oh well, I bet we won't see eye to eye on this one either.

LOL The comparison of The GOOD Samaritan to a bad teacher is like

trying to turn T-bone steak into a chicken dog. A good T-bone steak

is good all by itself. A chicken dog ain't no good no matter what you

try to put on it. The GOOD Samaritan has no reason to change -- he's

not the one who got burned. I damn betcha the "holier than everyone

else" Son-of-a-bitch who got burned to a crisp will change HIS

responses in the next lifetime, though!

 

 

 

Hopefully we all will learn our needed lessons in this lifetime, so that we won't have to repeat the in the next one.

 

BTW a teacher who only knows one way to teach is not necessarily a bad teacher, only one who is either unaware of other alternatives or just stuck in her own way.

 

Chicken dog = Cowardly canine? :-)
