What can I say to not make her feel like she's not really not my type? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I understand your dilemma but in the opposite- I am working with a teacher who has been in the school system for 30 years and while I admire her expertise, she also has some "old school" methods and demeanor that I do not necessarily believe I would use in my classroom. What I suggest for you is that you continue spending time in this class, but also ask if you may work with an additional teacher to gain experience in many different ways. Approaching it as if you are just trying to see everything there is out there might be the more diplomatic way to go about things.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: Great point! I have seen this happen first hand as well, and sometimes the teachers who have been working the longest may stick their old ways and not be on board for new and innovative methods.

I have been under teachers who have taught 30 plus years and then I worked with a new teacher who knew all the newest technology and strategies.She even suggests things because she just went through the program of couple of years ago.
