[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 468111, member: 11791"] Dump the blanketty-blank training in the garbage can... not literally - but really, there is no possible way to train somebody for every possible situation. There will ALWAYS be unusual situations where unusual solutions are called for. I know stories of a Janitor that did math tutoring, for the kids that the teachers couldn't find a way to teach math... and was successful 90% of the time. The school recognized that he had a gift for reaching the unusual student - because he had been one too. The point isn't that this mechanic is in any way a teacher - doesn't replace teacher skills at all. What it does do... is gives a kid in an unusual situation, an unusual opportunity to grow and learn to cope... which will in the long run make teaching possible. Fiddlesticks - it could be the gardener, the window washer... or even the principal (NOT in this case... but I've known one or two who could and did). But I know what you mean... there is just no way to get this stuff through their stuffed-up overeducated under-utilized brain-cases. (had some of those too) [/QUOTE]
