So,
Tomorrow, we start teaching again — I had vowed never to do it, but alas, I am doing it, again. I do sense that this will be the last time I do it 'till 2013.
Don't believe what they tell you — teaching is exhausting. There is a fundamental difference between wanting to know something and having to know it.
Furthermore, there is a difference between that and needing to know. My job, and I do suspect it is not to teach anybody anything, but to create the 'environment' for them to learn it.
I'd go as far as to say:
nobody is ever taught anything.
I neither have the temperament to explain that nor do I have all my 'arguments' in line to support that — I only sense it. I suspect someday, I'll come back to this, for now, lets roll with it.
I am some how looking forward to this academic year — I envision a good year, and that 'good' is not reliant on what the learners will be producing or of what calibre they are, all I know is:
… come end of December, they will be that good.
For someone who is almost an atheist, I tend to have a lot o' faith in things I am not in control of. I never like the word belief, it sounds devoid of reason.
Okay, I digress — let me get back to planning for school.
Until, until.
