Re: Generation gaps

Hey... I was thinking about this again. I think I know what helps me out. I model my relationship with the students on the releationship I had with my professors in grad school.
- I never call them kids - always students - they are not kids anymore
- Just because I'm a mentor doesn't mean I'm always right
- I figure I can learn as much or more from the students as they can learn from me
- I try to remember that at any given time, I could end up working for one of them

Just a thought I thought I'd put out there...
