@NanoRaptor I don’t think an employer is entitled to one’s best, most driven work – but it is the responsibility of teachers to draw that work out. A teacher doesn’t gain more profit from a student showing exceptional work – they get to then help the student refine that kind of work rather than work at the level of checking boxes.
@ehler @NanoRaptor what if the student is more interested in other activities and would rather be done with the subject you teach as soon as the class ends, so as to focus their time and energy on those other things?
@ehler @NanoRaptor
to elaborate:
In my experience, when a school gets a talented student (which it maybe gets 2-4 in a decade) for whom multiple subjects are very easy, each of the teachers will want to push that student to do harder tasks and go to competitions from that teacher's subject. But that can quickly overwhelm the student with more extracurricular work than they have time or energy for.
It's the student's right to say no, set boundaries, and focus on subjects they enjoy most.
