I remember as a child the first time I looked into the bonnet of my Dad’s car and looked at its viscera. I remember the multicoloured wires twisting from one part of the engine to another, the grey, blue, transparent, black boxes, enigmatic tubes hissing out steam, oil and grease—it seemed so mysterious and magical. When I reflect on my first year’s teaching, I feel the same way. If I’m asked to explain how one event connects to another, or how I went from thinking this to that, or how one motive strengthens or weakens the next—I quite simply cannot! This is part of the reason that those around me cajoled me into blogging.
Perhaps this year will be a little clearer. Back to school tomorrow!!!
