As I'm working on lessons for next week, it's a blurry line sometimes between "I'm not sure X or Y would be effective with my current students" and "yeah, they're just not smart enough or emotionally mature enough for this activity to work."
The underlying concern is the same, but over the years I've come to think that TONE is important, even in my own internal voice. Trying to be honest about my kids - who I love, even when they make me tired - but without letting myself become cynical or start undervaluing them.
