In this article, Laurinda Brown and Alf Coles relate to each other their own observations from each other's teaching styles. Brown relates that she was quite unsuccessful when she used Cole's strategy of using chanting when she introduced the Gattegno chart to her class. She realizes that could have raised the level of complexity of her lessons to her class until she could find something to work on at their level. On the other hand, Coles relates that he had been impressed about how Brown seemed to "get alongside" with her students. He also relates how he had been impressed upon Brown's dealing with her low-attaining students and with how she leaves her students energized about their work after 1-1 interaction.
