richieZ asked: For a little leaguer just getting into pitching and with a decent arm, what are the best drills or techniques to teach him how to properly pitch and develop into a good pitcher? He has potential, just want him to learn properly.
Are there any good online drills/resources about this?
Do you teach him to throw hard first, teach him control first? Teach him mechanics first? Just get it over the plate? Thanks, Arly from TX.

Dream asked: I am teaching the guitar to little children and would like tips to keep them attentive. I teach in groups of up to 6 and some as young as 6. The issue is that unlike say the flute or trumpet, children can talk while playing guitar. Also when children are in groups they are disruptive and even the best child will cause trouble with grouped with other troublesome children. When I have to give special help to one child, the others cause trouble How do you in a half hour lesson, manage to teach someone successfully without wasting like a quarter of an hour calming the kids down?
Thanks everyone.

Corona asked:
Can you teach compassion, or are people just born with it? If it can be taught, how can it be taught, and is there an age limit to when it’s too late?

asked: I’m planning to volunteer to teach English in Nepal. And although English is my first language, I’ve no experience teaching English at all! Need some help and perhaps any first hand experiences, eg. to advice what I should focus on, what I shouldn’t?
Great to have some online sites to reference, and also what sort of materials should I prepare?

I am teaching a 7-yr old child to do Math Facts like 8+7 or 15-6 or 18-7. He is able to do these using fingers but that slows down the speed. We have to do 100 such Math Facts in 5min! How do I teach him to do these without using fingers? Basically, he has to solve these very fast mentally.

Nathalie asked:
I would love to become a high school teacher and my favorite subjects in school are sociology, women’s studies, cultural diversity, and other classes of this nature. Would I be able to teach high school with a degree in sociology (and education, of course)? Perhaps I would be able to teach a global studies class?

David asked:
I decided to start to teach all my kids to swim. They are aged 1,2,4,6. My 6 year old has the idea of how to. I have an in ground 3-5 foot pool. I also have an inflatable pool for my young ones. And I also have a indoor pool that is 6 feet deep. What pools should I use to teach my kids? Also, how do I start teaching my kids. In groups or individually? What kind of things should I buy to teach them, floats etc? The best answer goes to someone who answers all the questions above.
