Trying too hard

A friend said it best (Thanks Jeannie!)

"Stop standing there stirring, turn the heat down and let it cook. You're trying too hard."

Applies to classes to a degree as well. Stop stirring the students and see what they do...

Ain't that the way of it? I find when I'm treated like a child I become more childish. When treated with dignity as an adult, I can rise to occasions.

Or I can sink anyway if I'm in a mood, who can say? I am large, I contain multitudes.
