The Diverse Age groups

I just recently had a learning experince while teaching. I learned something about my teaching that I think I was not getting information across to my students. I was teaching one cohort after another 'how to round' (numbers). Yes, I had to teach college students how to round numbers. Sound crazy. Well not form the cultural perspecitve.

I learned that maybe, just maybe, not all cultures of the world teach rounding in elementary school like I learned. And maybe, just maybe other culture find no use for rounding. So I've changed my attitude toward teaching it and i hope that when I express myself about it, I sound less judgemental and more understanding.

 

How about you? Is there something that you've learned about you that you had to change for the betterment of the students? Just asking.
