I think it’s good for younger adults to be teaching teens, especially men, because so many teachers and church staff are women. How many students do you have?
I have 14 now. May get a few more as the year progresses. I have 4 guys so it’s reasonably balanced.
A couple of them are really quiet.
What I try to do is to teach straight up, without notes, but I prepare the topic ahead of time. So far, I’ve been able to answer their questions without having to find more references. Kids seem to like it when they can rattle question after question and try to stump me.
