The question is often unanswerable.

Even if you can put your finger on why, something like I didn't like this cause it doesnt seem to fit but i cant really put my finger on why is okay. all good pointsJamie Krakoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808802721340647047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192911483681988682.post-79388851811652662452015-07-28T08:20:40.969-07:002015-07-28T08:20:40.969-07:00That is one scary sandwich up there^...

My kids swim coach explained to me why he was so effective at getting them to refine and improve their strokes. He used the word sandwich, and then I watched him in action. Seeing how much better kids listened to him taught me a lot.<br />Some critiques confuse "I liked it" sort of comment to begin and end with as employing the sandwich method. That's nice, but not real feedback. The bread part should be genuine specific "what works" and the meat should be "what could be improved."Mirka Breenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653086859905415156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192911483681988682.post-53980522318232499612015-07-28T07:37:40.765-07:002015-07-28T07:37:40.765-07:00your welcome! :)your welcome! :)Jamie Krakoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808802721340647047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5192911483681988682.post-1283966060947725722015-07-28T07:33:26.040-07:002015-07-28T07:33:26.040-07:00Excellent analogy!
