Also try asking the kids what they thought was good, could be improved, they are often great guides, very insightful and very forgiving! Also be realistic you are training, no one expects you to get it right all the time and even the most experienced teachers have bad days sometimes!- sorry lecture over!! soniaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26721433.post-23276106748904339402008-06-01T18:53:00.000+01:002008-06-01T18:53:00.000+01:00Cheers Sonia, I appreciate that.

It's not a good way to be. But it is lovely to have your good wishes and prayers. I will also pray for a smooth landing for you in your studies. I often think of our parallel paths. All the best. xHoly Famoleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11433136596886251593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26721433.post-51000661214727244202008-06-01T18:02:00.000+01:002008-06-01T18:02:00.000+01:00hope your next few weeks go well Carole, don't let...hope your next few weeks go well Carole, don't let them beat you down!.
