Do you find that thinking of your students as dum-dums makes you a better teacher?


Neither better nor worse.

Some of my students are naturally talented.

Others achieve great results through hard work.

Some half-assedly make it.

And some don't even try.

Those are the dum-dums.

They just play games and think everything is going to work out without effort.
