There isn't necessarily only one right answer. There are many (sometimes contradictory) truths. We learn more than we can teach.

I learned:

--I genuinely like children, especially 5-10 year olds. And they like me too! Very Happy

--When teaching, especially in a formal setting, I have a huge amount of patience.

I guess I should my own here...I like the ones about patience and not blaming the students..but perhaps for me the most important thing has been that there really is such a lot for ME to learn and that learning never stops. Also I have learned to ADMIRE people who put the effort in to learn a foriegn language.

I used to be rather frightened of children, but have learnt to be their guide, friend, teacher.
