His name is Dr. John. This normally would be no big deal, but I'm old,there is a pandemic. blah blah blah
Our old dentist had sold his practice to some guys who went under because of the pandemic, so more blah, blah. Anyway, good news I'm scheduled for a deep cleaning of my teeth starting next Tuesday, which for me is a huge accomplishment. I hope hubby likes him.

Birthdays by Thomas Elwood Your birthdays dear are like a harp, whose strings
Bring memories of melodies — of fond familiar things.
May future joys like
golden noise resound throughout your days, And health be strong and wealth be
long and happiness always.

Classroom management is very hard to learn through practice or student teaching, so most classroom teachers have a baptism by fire as we used to say. Live and learn or crash and burn. Sadly most new teachers rarely last 2 years, the last time I researched the topic.

A manager, teacher, supervisor of any kind who does not know how to divide workload can ruin the productivity of those they employ if they cannot determine optimal levels of productivity. When it is so hard for us to self-report accurately as human, how can we hope to learn how to do it for others with trial and error.

How disappointed would Socrates Be?Reason to live | General | Times Higher Education
In the Theaetetus, Socrates asks "What is knowledge?" And having been
told that it is geometry and shoemaking and so forth, he replies, "You
were not asked what things there is knowledge of, nor how many sorts of
knowledge there are ... for our aim in asking was not to count the sorts
of knowledge but to know what knowledge itself is."
