Why should I do what you say?

A good point, for sure.  Not said in a challenging way, but a real way.  Why do I need to make choices that lead us to do what you say?  I'm not sure.  I truly believe that the motivation needs to be the lesson, but how do I get that going.

What should I be expecting from myself, and what is the best way to get myself there?

It's harder to teach in the afternoon.

I have seen students for one full week.

There have been good things, there have been bad things.  

I am overstimulated.  Perhaps not overwhelmed, exactly, but overstimulated and unsure how best to channel myself into what I need to do.

I do not want to feel like a failure.  I'm not a failure!  But I feel like one at the end of every day.  

Things I was reminded of today:

Make clearer guidelines about the bathroom.

Move quickly.  Talk less.

They love to be the leader.

Incorporate multiple kinds of thinking.
