Q

Lane gives 14 steps to the making of a successful oral teacher. What are they?

A
  1. Rich clients—can pay for it. Carefully select and teach a few students..lost hearing later, greaterintelligence, still hear some3. Deny your student’s unique qualities, only teacher’s intelligence4. Disregard your student’s previous teachers5. Exaggerate your own accomplishments and your students6. Teach few but give impression of many7. Learn your student’s sign language8. (but) Deny knowing or using your pupil’s sign language9. Be patient-inactive mind (Epee’s description of an ideal oralist teacher)10. Live in student’s home or student live in your home at his expense11. Swear students to secrecy; permit no one to observe you. The more secretive, the more people will believe in its power12. Hire relatives “family secret and legacy”13. Publish. Acknowledge predecessors-this gives substance to your work but insist your methods are original and only became aware of others after you invented the method14. Collect student testimonials
