How Do You Spell STRESS?????? Teaching RS

My BH has to teach a RS lesson this Sunday. She only needs to teach maybe once every 2 or 3 months but whenever it occurs, she stresses for weeks prior to that dreaded day. I understand why because if I had to teach I would be a basket case, but she has been teaching piano lessons for 23+ years and guitar lessons for 5+ years - she is great - she is a natural at it!!!!!!!!!!! She gets new students just by word of mouth because all her students love her.

Put her in front of a group of women and all that experience disappears or hides behind STRESS. Every time she teaches, everyone raves about her lesson and once she is done, she becomes her usual wonderful self again. I admire her for teaching because I couldn't do it. I tell everyone that if I wanted to teach something, I would have become a teacher. I would rather have a root canal than teach anything!!!!!!!!!

Right this very minute she is reading and studying the upcoming lesson......she could probably recite the lesson word for word from memory right now if she had to. There is never enough time for the entire lesson and she STRESSES that she will forget an important point that she would like to cover. Being a man, I try to help but men aren't the greatest listeners when it comes to things like this......we want to solve problems and give solutions. I am guilty of this. I tell her to just pick a few headings from the lesson and concentrate on them - that is my solution to the problem and to me it sounds perfectly logical but I AM A MAN....what do I know!

Anyway, whoever reads this, please let my BH know that she is a super teacher.....she knows it but any words of encouragement and support would be wonderful......and appreciated.

If I could find that little picture of a person with his or her standing on end, and them pulling it out, I would have that inserted with this blog but I can't find it.
