A discovery for today--more like a reminder because I've heard it before: we all have different learning curves and methods. Some people get it right away and shift and jump right in to a new idea and try to figure it out along the way. Others (like me) take their time and wait until all of the information is in before starting something new. I'm okay with trying to build the plane while it's flying, as long as the major components of the plane are functioning and the whole thing won't crash along the way. As this "new normal" persists, it's going to be really important that we remember that not everyone is at the same level or can be at the same level because we all have different planes to fly.
It does not benefit me in any way to compare the work I'm doing with my students with the work other teachers are doing with their students. And the same goes for my students. This is the first time for all of us in this strange situation, and we're all coping the best way we know how.
And with that, I'm going for a walk. (Baxter is still sore, so we'll try a walk tomorrow.)
