Swollen Tongue And Sore Gums

barriers to communication

"We fear that professors make comparisons between the students and if we get a bad grade does not recognize us for those who do not study."

"It scares them that they can make fun or be prejudiced against us."

are two of the sentences in which a group of students expressed the fears of first try at the beginning of the new experience of high school.

I did remind the 12 barriers to communication presented by Thomas Gordon in the beautiful "effective teachers."

Each time you should take good ideas and meditate.

Offer solutions:
  • order, command, require.
  • warn, threaten.
  • to preach, scold.
  • Advising, giving solutions or suggestions.
  • scold, admonish, make logical arguments.

stress the inadequacy, errors:

  • judge, criticize, disapprove, blame.
  • Define stereotyping, labeling.
  • interpret, analyze, diagnose.
  • appreciate, agree, give positive ratings.
  • Reassuring, sympathize, console, support.

Analyze situations:

  • To challenge, investigate, question, subject to interrogation.

Avoid problems:

  • Evasion, distract, to sarcastic, to the spirit, changing the subject.

Every time I reread them, I think, sadly, to count how many mistakes to make in my teaching!

Fortunately, the students learn and grow, despite their teachers!
