This makes me feel better! I spend about 3-4 hours right now (about an hour for each class) but I love every minute of the student response!

[…] Have you ever noticed that people continue to relate to you like they know who you are? And quite often we continue to go along with them – like they’re right! We fall into agreement because we, too, feel we know who we area and we return the favor by knowing who they are. It’s a very interesting experience to observe how the “known” gets placed on the person appearing in front of you or in your thoughts.

I still say you could have avoided this entire internal conversation by just playing in a rock band for a few years before going into teaching.
