If you want to feel like a genius again try teaching a Science Education course. I know that after spending three hours with Education students that parts of my mind feel near God-like omniscience. On the other hand, the rational / critical / cynical part of my mind is forced into a corner and is rocking back and forth with the realization that these people will be teachers a year from now.
At least your students are capable of algebra, mine are challenged by stringing bright beads on yarn.
A blog about Homebrew and about Chemistry. Why? Because that's what I like. Homebrew and Chemistry. Sometimes the chemistry is about homebrew and sometimes it's not.
I am a homebrewer. I only do extract and partial mash brewing (right now). I prefer stouts and american pale ales. I am also a chemist. I teach college chemistry. I prefer organic chemistry and biochemistry.

How can you show your face in public?

Whoops! Time to go back to middle school!
(PS I don't think I could teach anyone that now... which is why I probably won't teach!)
Matt: I go to the box and I feel shame.
Liberal Arts: I hope they all teach kindergarten. Bright beads on yarn is key there.
Adam: It's amazing how much you recall when teaching. In this math class, for example, I remember doing much of this in grade school.
Take a dip in fresh water and do not discuss this out any more!!
