Good Enough, Isn't
I overheard a teacher offering this advice to a student-teacher the other day: "As long as you stay a chapter ahead of the kids, that's good enough." I know that there are some things we do in our lives for which just getting them done is good enough. Dusting, grocery shopping, paying bills, putting out the garbage, walking the dog. Of course everybody's list is different. But some things should never be on the "good enough" list. Teaching is one of them.
