Starter for Class!

I wonder why some of my colleagues repel student �s interest gained within terms just by beginning the class in a so dull and dreary way. I �d experienced and better to say made such a blunder long time ago. It would be predictable how uninterested students will be to comprehend and participate class activities in advance. Therefore I �d like dear pal here comment about this.
Thanks in advance;
R.B.

My interpretation:
I wonder why some of my colleagues immediately bore students by beginning their classes in a dull and dreary way. I experienced.. or maybe I should say... made such a blunder, a long time ago. [I �ve no idea what the next sentence means] Therefore I �d like if my dear friends here could comment on this.

I just meant students get bored whenever some teachers start their classes without warmming up and quickly grab the lesson. it makes students behave like robots.
hope it makes sense!!!! |

To be honest "Robert". If I spoke to my class the way you write, I �d lose their interest too.
There are two basic rules of communication, in my opinion:
Don �t speak "down" to students and
don �t speak "over their heads".
If you speak down to them - you show them no respect.
If you speak over their heads, you are just trying to show they
how good you are, but are not teaching them anything.
