teaching teachers teaches the teacher

Teachers have the hardest job in the world. I should know, I've been one long enough. Sometimes though, I think that teachers of teachers have it harder still. We make the worst students. We have accumulated all these traits from our students, out of sheer proximity to them day in and day out. These are the ones, mind you, that we get so mad at them for having. Short attention spans being just the beginning.
That said, my presentation today at staff development went rather swimmingly (or, as I heard a priest say the other day, hunky dory). Other than the comments that I let them out too late from their sessions, it was great. Although, keep in mind, I finished early, they had questions for days...and the second session was individual work, when you're done, you get to go!
Like I said...bad character traits ;)
But then, where would be the adventure? And I did learn something today. I can teach. Kids, Adults, it don't matter, I can do it. Fabulous :)
