Re: Fear of learning? Well, I'd have a nice private chat with them pointing out their learning difficulties and asking them to be in the other student's shoes. It's obvious they are perhaps a bit resented at being treated the same way in their beginnings. Perhaps if they are asked to be cooperative they will either help or finally discover they've grown out of that stage and need something more and be in a class where everyone helps each other. Of course, I'm miles away and all this is mere speculation. They might just be plain disruptive - but they should be made to respect other students' rights, that's for sure. A bit of reflection on learning processes would do it, I'm sure. After all, they are not having a session with a private tutor. |
