blah-blah-blah-ing into the void
I am just about 10 kinds of anxious right now. For various, whiny reasons. School reasons, work reasons, people reasons.
The main question I'm having today is, "am I cut out to be a teacher?"
Some days I feel good about this, some days I feel like crap about it. Sometimes I look out at them and it seems like I'm just blah-blah-blah-ing into a void and I know how much they love the teacher who teaches the prerequisite to this class and I can't help but feel that they're not getting what they want / need from me. Am I being clear enough? Can I articulate what they need to know? Do I even know what they need to know?
I feel like an idiot.

i know the feeling. i went through this too. turns out, i wasn't cut out. i don't think. talk about anxious... that was me at the teaching wheel. good luck to you.
I'm certain that you're not an idiot - that shouldn't even be a question. However, whether you click with this particular class ... well, I've not done it in quite the same manner as you, but let's just say that sometimes it doesn't work out so well. And you know what? They still learn, you go on, you have a better experience, and it works out differently.
As they tell physicians when they're learning a new operation: 'sometimes you have to bag a few before you get it right.' Yep. Happy thought, huh?
Hope you're well.
And how come your blog doesn't have a feed? I like feeds - I'd have known that you had written posts & things, and would've responded well before now! It's only because I had a vague feeling that I somehow didn't have you on a feed that I came back. Even if it's just the first few words? Please?
