I think it meets the length requirement, so you can go jump in the pool.<br /><br />You are so right about starting strict, and then easing up a bit, when appropriate. When I was on an assignment in the Marines, I hung out with a bunch of them. Then the higher-ups gave me a promotion and put me in charge of my buddies. That's when I learned what you learned in another context.<br /><br />I agree with Joyce that you have all the qualities of a good teacher. Since you are good at a lot of other things too, you can eventually choose the one that is the most fun.<br /><br />The Ricardo anecdote was interesting. Teaching kids self respect as well as respect for others is a worthy endeavor. So is teaching them to do their work and also to settle their conflicts with words, not fights or recriminations. Exposing kids to new places, new concepts and new experiences, these are all good.<br /><br />And so are you.<br /><br />Love from GrandadRWYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14824159670224402092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563519810768291824.post-65318205860215932662010-07-23T13:03:01.916-07:002010-07-23T13:03:01.916-07:00I think you also learned to like solving the puzzl...I think you also learned to like solving the puzzles that each kid contains - and something about the power of your attention. Congratulations on all of that. All of this is wonderful background if you do decide you want to be a teacher.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05949245943505732833noreply@blogger.com
