I'm responsible for two groups of students that each come to class twice a week for approximately 6 hours of instruction each day - lunch, 2 breaks, the straggling from breaks and lunch cutting into the learning time. My M-W class is more advanced than my T-Th class -- and as a whole has more personality and drive. They are my favorite!! Truth hurts.
It also hits me again for the millionth time that faces are repeated all the world over. I have students in CR who look so much like my friend Atit, my friend Davide, Lupe who works in my building in Charlotte, and others I'm searching my mind to figure out "who does she look like..."
