There is just one reason I chose to go to a teachers' college not an educational university. I thought that I'm simply not good at dealing with children, and this teaching practice just proved it perfectly. When I see children--of course, they are cute--I don't know how to start conversation. When they ask questions, I don't know how to answer, either. Maybe my ego is so strong that I cannot change my standard to children's one. It's like talking to a group of foreigners.
However, this teaching practice taught me a lot. Where there is appropriate rapports in a classroom, democratic, student-based teaching will always be successful.

I think it's hard for most teachers when they first start out, but it gets easier over time. If you don't like teaching children, that's fine, though. I prefer teaching adults, too.
