Indifference to need for help.
Too close holding to the text. Distant attitude--aloofness. Partiality. Excitability. Irritability. Pessimism--"in the dumps." Indifferent assignments. Hazy explanations. Failure to cover assignments. Distracting facial expressions. Attitude of "lording it over." Sarcasm. Poor taste in dress. Bluffing--"the tables turned." Discipline for discipline's sake. "Holier than thouness." _Desirable Capabilities_ They also reduced to rather memorable phrases a half dozen desirable capabilities: 1. The ability to make students work and want to work. 2. The ability to make definite assignments. 3. The ability to make clear explanations. 4. The ability to be pleasant without being easy. 5. The ability to emphasize essentials. 6. The ability to capitalize on new ideas. 7. The ability to be human. |
