Alana,
You're right. And it really doesn't take that much effort, but some planning and time is required to make sure all is ready and we are "there" for the student. I kinow it's easy to begin to think of our classes like our job, and so it can become commonplace to get a little sloppy. But as professionals, wanting to make good impressions and train our students, we owe them the courtesy of our time and preparation.
