the glory and the challenges
From the monthly archives:
I had a great class: seventeen students, mostly strong academically. I gave them a lot of work and most of them rose to the challenge. Turned out the final was quite a bit harder than I thought, so I graded both halves and gave them the better grade. Of course, half the class was excused from the final because they had As.
I just turned in grades today.
Maybe I will feel like I have relaxed tomorrow.

I could have had my students read some Middle English that they’d actually think was funny. (Don’t pick your nose in public!)
Scribal Terror has both the original and a translation for all you guys.
Caxton’s Book of Courtesy… Hmm. Didn’t know there was one. Probably the first self-help book published since it came out in 1477 and I think Caxton’s press started in 1476.
