This week was all about the matter – subject matter as well as the subjects that matter.
Full immersion teaching, getting to know the learners, to engage with them on different levels, to see them play and excel in various extramural activities… to form some semblance of a bond with them. This is the joy of teaching. This is the stuff that lives are made of. And it is such an honor to be a part of it.
Remember this in times to come when paperwork and admin, disappointments and conflicts as well as fatigue and frustration team up to try and overthrow us. Hold on to the joy, lest we get jaded.
