What do they learn/teach in culinary school..?

We Answered:

your first class will probably be safety and sanitation, you will study food handeling management, FIFO, cleaning ext, this may go along with a knife skills class, and other basic skills. Identifying items around the kitchen, proper way to hold a knife, making basic stuff like rice, learning the 4 base sauces.

You then cover butchery, garde manger, baking and pastries, then other world cuisines, you will also have business management class, and maybe a wine class.

What you as a student NEED to do, is pay attention, forget partying, and never miss a day. Also if you don't know how to cook at all then maybe try something else. Cooking isn't easy, and some people are really no good at it.

Also remember whatever they tell you, you will not be a chef after graduation, you are at best a line cook, but will probably get your first job as a prep cook, the pay is lousy for the most part, the industry is over crowded, and unless you plan to eventually open up your own place or becoming the head chef at some fancy restaurant or hotel then prepare to be poor.

Good Luck though.

What is an easy subject to learn teach myself?

We Answered:

Lots of things would fit, depending on your budget. Quilting, garment making, carpentry, metalwork, jewelry making, papercasting, sculpture, pottery and ceramics, landscaping, painting...

For academics, your public library might offer Rosetta Stone right over the internet for free so you could learn a language. Or you could become a student of history. My dad likes genealogy because he occasionally stumbles onto a mystery which he will put aside til he has more experience.

Do you learn and teach better when you know that what you're learning/teaching is relevant to life?

We Answered:

Students consistently say they want to learn meaningful stuff. Mostly I do too. However, I like philosophy. I used to like math. Both are useless.

What is the best way to learn/teach the multiplication and addition tables.?

We Answered:

The purpose is really to get these things so ingrained that it becomes second nature. Usually it's best to present the information really plainly... those boring tables.

Then it's best to review it as a game, so that the student can recall the answers quickly without thinking about it. It will help build the foundation they'll use the rest of their lives.

A couple of games we played as a kid: Two lines with the Teacher in front. The Teacher shows the front two students a flashcard, and the first person to answer correctly gets the flashcard. Both students move to the back of the line. When all the flashcards are done, then the team with the most cards wins.

Another was good for audio/tactile/visual learning. Each student has number cards in front of them... I think the set had 3 of each number 0 through 9. We also had 3 cards for each of the signs: addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. The teacher would say a problem out loud, and the students would use their cards to create the answer. If they couldn't get the answer directly, they could create the problem to see it visually first. After we got good at this, the teacher switched to word problems, where a story was told, and we had to translate it into the math using the cards.

Good luck and make it fun!
