When I taught, I taught poorly.
I taught poorly because I lacked classroom management skills.
Mostly it was about how to control the class
ensure they did what I told them to
but another component was keeping kids interested
and that comes from being organized
being prepared.
I was not well prepared.
If I went back into the classroom, I would not be well-prepared now.
I’d be better, perhaps,
but organization remains not my forte.
Management is not my strength
much as I love telling others what to do.
If there is a lesson here
I cannot tell you
for when I teach, I teach poorly.
