Spent the entire day with Greg Stephens in the High School chatting to him and observing a few classes. The aim of the day was to immerse myself in some Maths rather than observe the teaching itself.
I scared myself stupid because it reinforced what has been at the back of my mind ever since I made the decision to do Maths. My subject knowledge is poor - not in the sense that I can't do it because I can. The issue is that I am not an intuitive mathematician. This means that I can do it when I spend the time to learn a subject and practice it so it becomes second nature. That's going to take time and effort. Precisely!!
Having said that I did spend an enjoyable day in class. Ellen was positively delighted with me at the end of the day so that was nice. The more I chatted with Greg, the more comfortable I felt with his approach. I will take alot from him.
Alice's concert tonight and it was all going so well until Mr Rubino decides to bring some flowers out and ask Alice to come to the front of the stage. He proceeded to tell everyone there how special she was and how much he and Hastings are going to miss her and the whole family. Didn't see that one coming.
