Question: There are all these blogs about writing, and how hard it is, and how to get it done anyway, and all these blogs about teaching techniques and enthusiasms. Am I the only one who talks about how just plain hard teaching is? It seems that the level of difficulty I have with it – and by ‘it’ I mean teaching freshmen, teaching foreign languages; the rest of teaching seems more like research to me – but it seems to me that the level of difficulty I have with it rivals the level of difficulty the majority appear to have with writing. If that is the case then I really feel for them and shouldn’t suspect them of quejarse por quejar as I do.
Comment: All of my rebellious posts started as a strong reaction to two things: a blog comment and a post – and according to the post in question, one should appear to be making sweaty effort, and not do things with ease. I would like to do more things with yet more ease; I would like to look yet effortless; I appreciate people who manage that and I enjoy them. I do not even care if they manage it because they come from “privilege.”
Axé.
