What to Do about Know-it-Alls
I teacher gifted learners at the moment and an advanced math group. When you teach these type of kids, there is a fine line between sharing what you know and vomiting information. I share this with students before it gets to the point of vomiting information. Not only is it a nice proverb speak, it is a tiny bit of history since Theodore Roosevelt shared it. I tell my students that people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. I introduce this in a type of circle time, they I can refer to it if I notice children becoming know-it-alls or gravitating towards arrogance. You are welcome to the sign also. I am sharing it with you here.
