Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
2/13: direct understanding of indirect statement
There are 3 ways to express indirect statement in Greek, and for months now my students have only known 1 of those ways. This week they learned the other 2, and today we went over the homework in which they practiced the new constructions. It went very smoothly. The students are doing great work in the Greek class this year; I am so grateful to them for their earnestness and good spirits.

ReplyDeleteThat must make being a teacher a joy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad for (and a little bit jealous of?) your circle of like-mindedness, Elaine. I'm glad your Friday included such a get-together.
ReplyDeleteAnd when teaching goes well, kikipotamus, it does seem like a joy of a very grounded, palpable sort. Sometimes the joy is mixed with pride that I'm doing a good job--but in the case of my Greek class, I think it's almost all them & very little me. They're that good.
