A gossip-free space to think

Article Abstract:

An examination of the pros and cons of working from home. Pros include not having to deal with the gossip of colleagues, avoiding constant interruptions and the ability to have a free "thinking space" in which work can be done. Downsides include the potential for laziness, so self-discipline, self-motivation, self-confidence and self-sufficiency are needed if home-working is to be a successful activity. Another con of working from home can be the inability to recognise when a full work day has been done and putting aside remaining work until the next day.

Practice giving the lecture may also help to give the teacher more confidence. The voice must be clear and strong to ensure all the information can be heard, the use of pauses and silence can also be effective.
