...is it humanly possible for one person to turn? I was taking a third look through some of the work my 488 students turned in...and then I looked at the final essay exam my CI has posted for the novel...and well, I never even came close to getting the kids to this place of understanding that I knew I was at; I guess I'd hoped they'd magically make it there, but as it turns out, nope. Luck, prayer, and good vibes don't cut it in teaching. You either know what you're doing or you don't. Hindsight and all that. I'm glad I learned from it, but don't mean it don't sting though. Not to mention now I understand why much of their feedback informed me that I had planned way too many activities, not enough discussion time. Hoo-boy.
"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen--I suck at teaching........that will be all."
