I am not a professional woodturning teacher, but I have _given many
turning lessons plus teaching in other fields. I find students of some
experience (intermediates?) are the most difficult and least fun for me
to deal with. Usually widely read, they ask questions that are
interruptions disguised as statements and they disagree by loud,
'learned', and disparaging asides to embarrassed nearby students.

The serious beginners are a delight and the advanced honor me by
thinking that I might add a tiny specific bit of info to their arsenal.
The former want to learn and the latter know more than I. Neither need
to impress or be impressed, so both are a pleasure to deal with.

Most all of us teach in some way or other. Tell us about your favorite
and least favorite types of students. Be kind, tell us your least
favorite (most wordy) rcw poster another day.
