Sleeping Facilitator

[Pannwitz, Michael M]

Not a sleeping teacher...but
after having introduced OST to a group of 250 highschoolstudents,
teachers, social workers, mediatore, policemen, politicians...I took
a nap pretty much in view of everyone around noon in the main
room...just about that time a group was very busy working on a
conflict (a German girl and an immigrant girl had gotten over a fight
involving a particular boy getting their friends involved and causing
considerable turmoil)...one of the teachers woke me attacking me and
scolding me for not giving attention....while this was taking place,
things were already calming down again....as I pointed this out to
the teacher, she still complained about me not interfering....
its a tough life
greetings from Berlin

As fanciful as the notion of the most effective teacher being the sleeping one is, it is firmly grounded in story.
