Week 4 Response Post 2- Mike Socko

Mike,
I understand some of the frustrations you talk about when staying inside a box when giving assignments at times. As a broadcasting teacher we share some of the same problems and challenges in our classrooms with one of those being having to change things on the fly when it comes to projects and the guidelines for students at multiple levels. If we are always firm on certain things how can we really reach and challenge the students to become better if we never build confidence in themselves and their own skills. But at the same time if we are too flexible how can we realistically prepare them for real world situations that will not bend for them but challenge them even more.
