It is fun. You can quickly see it works. But once things get a bit bigger than very tiny you have to think and be disciplined, Otherwise, try as hard as you can, things don't work. After experimenting and getting things into a muddle you see a way making things look simple. It's magic! The objects and abstractions have real sense instead of just the result of "having to do it". If you can teach that then well done! It's sure that you have to demand "get your head down". It's sure that doing tasks (trying to ride a bike) is the only way to learn how to do it. The teacher knows what tasks help this in the long term.L'Anglaishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04837803051682521349noreply@blogger.com
