depends on the subject. i like teaching new shooters with a suppressed .22 and subsonic ammo because it's hearing safe and they don't get as freaked out and tend to enjoy the experience more. easier to coach someone if you're not having to shout through earpro, even electronic sets and the novelty of not hearing the blast, but still hearing the impacts and ricochets is entertaining. makes it easier to focus on the fundamentals/safety when you can hold a casual conversation without obstructions.

You train assassins?
I'm really good at teaching, but I hate doing it
sounds like fart in spanish
Pedagogy is not a funny word and is widely used in the EU (it is lacking a bit in the US)
But everybody that works in the educational sector (like me) is using the term frequently.

Let me guess. Your students also falls asleep when you lecture? or plays poker.....
Having grown up in a teacher's household, I sometimes catch myself slipping into a mentoring tone - I just can't help sharing what I've learned.

Can be.
After graduating from university, I was offered to continue my education for a PhD and then work as a teacher, giving lectures to students.

I don't want to say anything bad about this profession, but when I imagined that I would have to repeat the same thing to students every year in lectures, I refused. It's so boring to give the same thing in lectures...

I've never been a teacher by title, but I can effectively explain and demonstrate anything I'm knowledgeable about.

I just don't have any interest in doing so and find it excruciating.
I could have some educational use on how to not do things.
I'm good at taking advantage of teachable moments.

In my opinion that is just being a parrot.
Real knowledge is gained by interactions and sharing.
Not any more

I'm talking about "interactions and sharing" lol...

Explanations and demonstrations occur within the context of an interaction; that's the literal process of teaching.

It's been a while since I've seen a semantic assumption so bizarre and incorrect at once. 😂

I don´t think you understand my point and that is perfectly alright.
