I feel stupid when I feel like I need that affirmation that I'm doing something worthwhile when I teach, but it sure doesn't hurt :)<br /><br />Also, it sounds like your classes are good! Having students feel like colleagues... sounds awesome. I should take some of your classes.sumidiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998929191458452400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288865811708987253.post-4659034223428035002010-05-03T13:50:08.330-04:002010-05-03T13:50:08.330-04:00I realised that I am very similar to you, I have t...I realised that I am very similar to you, I have the same feelings about teaching, and also question what it is I am doing. But when a motivated student tells me she's switching from Psych into majoring in Maths because of the way I teach my course, well then it doesn't seem so bad. <br /><br />I've been told students feel as though I lecture to them as equals, colleagues in Maths as it were. It was meant as a complaint, but I took it as the highest compliment students could give me...<br /><br />Maybe that makes it worthwhile?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686892248744687152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288865811708987253.post-52380089717308936972010-04-26T18:29:23.024-04:002010-04-26T18:29:23.024-04:00@Anonymous thanks for the comment.

I suppose it's only so surprising though, and probably happens wherever else I'd head. Hope you've found something else you enjoy.sumidiothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14998929191458452400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288865811708987253.post-53494212471347361952010-04-20T12:32:44.161-04:002010-04-20T12:32:44.161-04:00I loved teaching.

To continually battle these extra forces was too much. Good luck on your quest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
