It's only occasionally these days that I fall totally flat while teaching. I did yesterday, though. My trouble yesterday was that I came armed with copious notes, but I didn't have a single coherent thesis for my class. Without that organizing principle for everything else, the information I was trying to convey was totally incomprehensible. Things that students should have been able to remember from the past were beyond the grasp of their memories, and that made it harder for me, I admit. However, the value of a good thesis is that it help pull back memories by giving them something to latch onto.
Remember this, teachers: have a THESIS for your class lectures. Otherwise, you will just be rambling, and no one will want to listen to you.

Aw Hell... I was hoping for a real response to one of my posts. Maybe if Fred Thompson himself decided to comment...
Ha! The comment alone was worth the read. No one ever reads my stuff. Though, hey! A good thesis is like a good pair of shears; both help control the garden. Graces.
