That’s a great question! I’ve been teaching arts classes for a youth charity for 5 years now.
Ages range from 5-18. I myself am 23.
I’d say this has happened twice? I’m counting a one off lesson with some 16-18 year olds a few years ago. And a series of weeks in which I had extremely little control over some 8-10 year olds. In that case I was able to control individuals if they had my full attention. But would ‘lose’ them when I focused on the next kid.
Your question caused me to think of why these things may have happened. Though I’m curious to hear what you think before I spill my guts.
