This will come as no surprise to any teachers out there in the blogosphere, but the golden moments in teaching are rare.
Mostly teaching is hard work. Dealing with teenagers' motivation levels all day long, as I do, is hard work. Dealing with administrivia is hard work.
Not all the time, but most of the time.
That makes those breakthrough, golden moments all the sweeter.
As Robert Bly says in Iron John:
Sometimes the mentor or teacher, sitting with a student, slips into soul water and the tongue turns to gold.
Those are the moments that keep us going.
