Nancy, where is the disrespect? I certainly didn't not write it in the
tone with which you read it. I can see how you could interpret my message
that way. Honestly, I.truly.meant.no.disrespect. I think they are valid
questions no more or less than why did you go into the profession of
psychology. Did you intend to become a psychologist or a teacher of
psychology? Were you trained to be one and not the other? Where you
trained for both? Etc? The questions are not an accusation; they are a
call for honest and truly open self-examination and self-reflection.
Nothing wrong with that. We all should do that every day. I, for one, as
an example, was trained to be a scholar, an historian, not a teacher. The
only guidance I had was to ape my professors. It wasn't until a decade
ago that I opened myself to learning about learning and teaching, and that
I learned that just because I knew history didn't mean I could teach it or
that to be a good teacher I had to be a published researcher and scholar.
Gosh, no flame was intended. Payam, if you took my query that way, excuse
my clumsy language.
Make it a good day.
