Validation
I’m always wondering how I’m doing as my kids’ primary teacher and how they are doing academically in this setting.
Recently, I administered the IOWA/CogAT exam to my oldest. While I don’t assume the exam is an all-knowing sort of thing, it does provide some nice feedback on areas of strengths and weaknesses. I was very nervous to open and see his results, knowing that it would be a direct reflection of my teaching skills. Thankfully, his results were of a positive nature. Had they not been, I might be crying as I write this now. There’s a great deal of pressure that comes with this job. If they do well, you can breathe a little easier, if only for a fleeting moment. Tomorrow still brings new challenges and hurdles.
