' jneet in Personal Growth Casey’s Corner Putting the Book in the Other Hand by Casey Bass Bunch Sighs of relief filled the air as I re-entered Joyner Hall for classes this semester. It was wonderful to be back in school as a student, to be able to wear sweatpants, and to sit back and let somebody else decide what material we were going to cover. Don’t get me wrong. I enjoyed my student teaching experience, I was, and still am, relieved to have one more semester of learning before I enter the real world of educating. I was not quite prepared for the awe I began feeling for things I had taken for granted over the past seven semesters. My professors here at Meredith all handed me a syllabus, with an outline for the entire semester, during the first week of class. As a student teacher, I was excited if I knew what 1 would be doing for a whole week! These people know what we will be dolno in April. I also found myself defending the professor who didn't return papers the class period after they were turned In. I. too, used to feel that any paper worth handing in was worth aradlng and returning immediately. However, experience has taught me that immediately is sometimes postponed by things such as lesson plans and student conferences. Besides, students only turn in one papor each; the teacher gets one per student. Students should figure that into their ideas of when a professor ought to return papers. k „ «n Yes I am planning to enjoy my final semester here at Meredith. You see, I have been on the other side of that big desk, and I lookfonward to being there again. But for now. I am going to let someone else tell me what I need to know and when I need to know it. However. I am go^g to be especially careful to learn that material. I remember all too well my feelings for unmotivated students.
