I love Jen's last post about the wisdom she would like to impart on her students. She's got several really good ones, but my favorite is this: "If you are having trouble figuring out an answer, you are learning something. Congratulations- keep it up." Brilliant!!
I don't know why that one struck me exactly--it's very simple, but profound--I just think it's incredibly well said. If you are not having trouble with a question because you already know the answer, then you aren't learning; and if you are not having trouble because you have given up and are not trying, you are not learning either! Simple, but brilliant! Ahh Jen, wise and profound. Teach away...
