Being a teacher

College teaching is remarkable. It is often unnerving in the most inexplicable and unexpected way. You will get to know how hard it is to give students failing grades. Not because of how perfect they are, but vice versa. The reason is quite simple: the students' failure is the teacher's lack of success. The truth is, most of the time, it is not that students have failed the teacher, but the teacher has failed the students. And this often happens when the teacher expects too much of his students.
