Am I Preparing Students For My Age Or Theirs?

Or, let's move to another scenario. Have you ever sat in a classroom with a handful of adults - far less than the typical 25 students - for a period of an hour or two? The adults are about to go batty by the time the hour hand moves and most often blame it on the "small chairs".

Or, have you shadowed a typical school or a group for a full week? Day after day, no sneaking out mid-class for a phone call . . .only allowing the breaks a student would get? (I know, I know, students "get into trouble with too much free time" . . . hmmm).
