Less heavy with precepts about practice students can interpret and
select. They can also use the variety of examples, and select from
amongst them to further their own arguments. The use of concrete
examples has an essential place in constructing one’s own position
or in utilising educational ideas or theories. It is equally impor-
tant that such examples or
experiences can be shared
with other members

No because they did have different reactions
sometimes to soft teachers didn’t they

or the groups - like the stereotype of this
bad group - they’re always going to have
difficulty learning - but that wasn’t the

..... One of the comments as Viv Purlong
says ’’The whole class seemed to have very
little interest in the subjects per se and

someone’s strict or soft - the whole question
of control isn’t just to do with your - you
know whether you slam
down
or whether you control
them
on top of kids
or not doesn’t
