As a normal individual we are almost always different, so it is impossible to folow all those styles.Probably apply some of them that really fits our style.

Yes, I listen very attentively and try to understand the reason why. Usually they are not angry but are just diappointed. After voicing out their problem, the angger dessipates.

I have learned that making a good lesson plan starts with what we want our students to learn. In order for our students to appreciate and be engaged in the learning process, the lesson plan must be relevant to them.
