It Turns Me Upside-Down

Those of a certain vintage will recognize a song lyric in today's title.  Uh-oh, it's magic ...

For teachers, summer means a time to recoup, reflect, and re-organize for next year.  I had my students write letters telling what they liked and did not like from this past year, and set up an online survey for parents.  I did the same after ChessFest (a chess event I organized).

Soliciting feedback results in hurt feelings.  How could someone say that my clubs were a total waste of time?  But, once we get over it, we can improve.

Maybe today, ask somebody how you're doing.  You wife, husband, kids, boss, customers ... How am I doing?  And then fix something.
