Learner in Your Class

Amer, I would like to be a student in your class, also. When a teacher values the individuals he teaches as you have described here, it is a win win for all.

Mary, I like your "productive attempt" wording. It is only through trial and error that we grow in our teaching abilities. Thanks for attempting!
