Glasses

Gradually, if not intentionally, I’m giving up contact lenses. At the end of a long day’s teaching the world looks like a 3D film without the glasses. Even my vanity can’t hold out against this level of visual confusion. I realised today while running a half term revision class that every so often I pause to push my glasses back up my nose. I have come to think of this gesture not as a practical necessity but as a pedagogical affectation worth cultivating, a way of underscoring salient points!
