I worked with apprentices I never really reached. It was either too much pressure to get the job done and I just gave up or fell out of the need to teach and asked, “how can we get this done?” Some weight would be released from our relationship. The imbalance of unnecessary authority? The over-conscious buzz of being in a “learning moment” that splits our attention? Allowing something to be done with only the doing of the doing as important defused the sense of the artificiality of a staged activity?

People are separated by all sorts of differences and teaching falls into an almost impossible place of reaching everyone. Even teachers get to be who they are:-) (Sometimes).

Will check out Feldstein and Morris.
