Nice compliment.
Some days I wonder why I do this--I think I'm crap sometimes. Other
times I think I'm great. And the tests show my kids ARE learning. But you
know, my almost-undetectable levels of self-esteem always make me think I'm
wasting my time.
Today, however, my Principal called me "a natural (teacher)" whose work in
the classroom she admires. I'd think she was blowing smoke up my arse
except that last week she was pretty candid with another teacher about his
issues.
So, yeah. Just this moment? I feel good. I'll probably crash later, but
for now I'm coasting on this while I finish designing a course for next
year.
