Comedy School For Less

You have been dismantled. You just got a traffic ticket. Now you must go to school traffic if you do not want to send that quote your insurance premium in the outer layers.

Would you really give up your Saturday to spend the whole day in a conference room with a musty hotel attending school with other traffic offenders unhappy?

Most people prefer the experience of a canal without anesthesia.

I feel your pain. Although it has been quite a few years, I also have very unpleasant memories of my school experience of traffic. I remember setting up of resentment in me for days before I had to go, complaining all the way there on the day of class, and sitting in a cramped office Kiddy or smelly hotel room meeting feeling bitterness and boredom that some retired police officer droned on for hours about things I felt I already knew. While school traffic is supposed to be a refresher course on driving and traffic - these experiences I felt sure punitive to me.

When I retired from teaching high school and college students spend more time with my young son, I decided I needed something to put some money in my pocket and I answered an ad to teach traffic weekend.

After I was hired, I was given a manual 5-inch thick, with the DMV-approved program in it. I was told to "find a way" to fill 400 minutes and "crack a few jokes" if I knew everything - because it was a comedy "School". At this time, it became abundantly clear to me why most experiments in school were so poor circulation.

Teaching a subject for eight hours straight requires someone who really knows how to keep students' interest by involving them in the learning process, varying the pace and impact of what is taught, and the understanding of importance of entertaining students to keep their attention.

Although there are school teachers of the movement who are naturally gifted and instructors who are working to create a class that embodies these qualities, most are simply people who have been given a great book and told to find a way teach what is between the covers for 400 minutes.

This explains why the online option has become a more desirable way to mitigate the pain of the school experience of the movement.
