Have I mentioned that I have a student teacher working in my room at the moment?
It's interesting - watching her practice and hone her craft.
And it is odd - watching her do things: which sometimes is like watching a train wreck in slow motion! But we all do this. Try. Learn. Change. Try again.
So next time I look at the 'room' full of stuff that I have collected, the wrinkles around the eyes, the grey hairs which are beginning to appear... I will know that THIS is how we learn.
Each, and every day.

Oh this is so good (and so true). It's hard not to just step in and say something. But then you remember that people were patient with you too. And yes, the grey hairs and wrinkles... let's not talk about them!
