The Importance of Surveillance in Teaching

I like to be in a spot. If I'm here, I just move to the left slightly so that this person isn't behind someone's head. This is probably subconscious for the students, but it means that they always know I am there. At a rough estimate, I think I've done at least 20,000 hours of in-class teaching. Yes, I am bragging about that. But I do feel quite proud to have done a lot of something, to have stuck at it for a long time. Either that, or I just enjoy being an English teacher, I don't know.
