teaching revelation

So, when it comes to teaching there is much more than meets the eye. As a new batch of teachers prepare to go out into the work force, they find themselves floundering like fish trying to grasp material as if it were the very form of air they needed to survive. As on of those new teachers I recently find myself gasping. I see the light at the end of the tunnel, I know it is in me to get there, but boy does it seem tough. I guess some comfort can be gathered from the fact that I am not the only one flopping around the deck gasping.
