Two articles this week about teaching, Chris' and Capt Yates. Both were good reads.

It got me thinking about the teaching I do. The one thing that I find hardest about teaching is remembering what not to say. There is so much a teacher knows compared to a new student in particular and if we try and impart too much information its a circuit overload and the student gets that dazed and confused look on his/her face.

I always need to remind myself to just concentrate on one or two things at a time. The student will get them and they've got the rest of their fishing career to learn the rest.

Question to you teachers, what is the hardest thing you have to work on to improve your teaching?
