After my first week of teaching, I have a whole new level of respect for all the teachers I’ve had, and I’d like to apologize to all of them for making their jobs more difficult. It’s not easy to hold the attention of a classroom of students, no matter their ages, and reading papers is just plain taxing. It makes me wonder why any professor assigns a paper more than 2 pages long. It is rewarding too, though. To watch a student finally get it, or to hear her voice finally come out in her writing, is a joy to witness and in which to participate. They are bright, shining souls.
