Thus, the teaching gets focused on the parts that need work, not spread over the whole territory. If the student were treated the same whether right or wrong, he would never learn it at all or learn it very badly. This latter approach is probably the inexpert and undeveloped Lojban learning that xod thinks I am interfering with. I hope I am; some nice expert and developed learning seems needed. As for the embarassment of being shown wrong, I am sorry about that -- though I can't recall xod ever admitting he was wrong or being obviously embarassed. I will try to be nicer in the future (but that "Kick Me" sign is an awful temptation). |
