A Job to be Done

My son went for his classes for the automatic driving schools program yesterday. It is something that I talked him into doing since he got a ticket a few weeks ago. He got the ticket forspeeding onhis motorcycle through a school crosswalk. I had gotten angry with him because this is not the first time that this has happened. I told him the last time, that if it happened again, he was going to get instruction from a driving teacher at a school of my choice. That choice was at any automatic driving schools that were offering classes for free or really cheap.

Like many parents out there, I want my child to be safe when he is behind the wheel or in this case, when riding a motorcycle. He told me that the instructors of the automatic driving schools were really nice and patient with him and the others that were in his class. That isa very good quality to have in an instructor because that kind of job can be really stressful. I have never done it and I don't really care to. I will leave that kind of stuff up to the professionals. It takes a good amount of trust and patience to deal with that kind of job and do be really good at it as well. I give those instructors of the automatic driving schools credit for doing the job as well as they do.

My son said that the instructor that he had was really good, he was funny and didn't make him feel like he was always doing something wrong. He said every time that he made a mistake, the instructor would patiently demonstrate how to do it the right way, and not make him feel bad because he messed up. The instructor told my son that mistakes aren't bad because that is the way that we learn. Nobody in this world has ever done anything without making a mistake every now and then. The instructor proceeded to explain to my son that mistakes are part of the learning process. Not once in the instructor's life has he ever had a student not make a mistake. He expects mistakes and then expects the students to learn from those mistakes.

I totally agree with what my son'sinstructor was saying. Nobody in this world is perfect, and if they say they are, you knowthey are lying.
