Do you ever feel like you’ve got a one-track mind? As an English teacher, I feel like I tend to focus on just one thing at a time. If we are teaching sentence patterns, I’m all in on sentence patterns, or if we are learning citations, I am laser-focused on citations. Some people may praise my dedication and focus, but I’m not sure my one-track mind is always a good thing because while I may understand the why and how about the lesson or rule I’m teaching on, but sometimes students need to be taught the why and how explicitly.
