[nabs-l] Opinions on a TVI Issue

[Carly Mihalakis]

Hi, Aleeha,

And how do you know what distracts the teacher from you?
Again, is she not meeting your needs? I would suggest granting her 
the perogative of deciding when she feels "destracted." Frankly, this 
sounds like an awfully controlling situation. Do you think she feels 
completely controled and dominated by your alleged needs?
Never forget to imagine your roles are reversed, thqat you'r the 
teacher and you are charged with some little terror. Hopefully, that 
lends some perspective!
!
for today, Car
