Imitation and Flattery

Ah, there are few things more satisfying than teaching gone well. As I whiz by the sun setting over the gorgeous Mission Bay, I bask in the
warmth of the memories of my students' smiles...during math class!

Sure there were mistakes, like when I reprimanded a student for laying his head down in class (it eventually it came out that he had been hit by a car while skateboarding and was worn out from everything involved...whoops!).

But in sum, we had a nice first meeting. We connected, we did math, I even took them on a field trip to my office (woohoo!).

And most importantly, one student actually asked me where I had bought my sweater vest! Ah, imitation is truly the sincerest form of flattery.
