Get folks to<i> <span style="color: #660066">TRUST their own eyes</span></i> and <span style="color: #660066">look closely </span>at images at powers they usually don&#039;t use.</p><p><br /></p><p>2. Teach them <span style="color: #660066">not to believe ANYTHING </span>they read on the Internet - regardless of who posts it until you can verify it as true.</p><p><br /></p><p>3. <font size="6">Learn to <b><span style="color: #660033">follow explicit instructions</span></b></font> when the outcome has no important consequences and cannot seriously harm them.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>4. Provide a discussion about characteristics on a coin (learn the difference between a DC and Scratch) that affect it&#039;s subjective grade.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>5. Learn that DC can actually help verify that a coin is in FULL Mint State condition and not a &quot;slider.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=37839]@Morgandude11[/USER]&nbsp; Perhaps now you&#039;ll better understand why I am disappointed by the &quot;word game&quot; part of your post.&nbsp; My teaching methods are much different than most and I believe they produce much better results![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
