Feeling Better

I went to visit E-- this evening, and she said, "You're not creating a religion, are you?"

I said, "What?"

She said, "You aren't perfect. Your classroom isn't full of diciples. You're just a mortal. How can you expect classroom Nirvana?"

It made me feel better. Then I talked to my CS, who is a PHENOMENAL teacher, on the phone, and she told me that she, too, has to repeat everything 24 times in her classroom. That made me feel better, too. Perhaps I'm not an awful teacher?
