You can always go by the book. Iwas always interested in results, too, but mine couldn't easily be measured. I'm not sure these outcomes can be measured. And because they can't, I became something of an anachronism. My fear is that the pleasure they take in their teaching will be leached away by a system that is so driven by measurable results.
Teaching is a wonderful mystery.
The best days for me were those when my students and I were on the same journey and none of us knew exactly where it would take us. I fear that science will replace the art that was on my side of the desk. 1998 Editorial Projects in Education Vol.
