Sitting in the far back desk, clearly out of the field of vision of the teacher you sit, mentally scratching your head, wondering if you'll ever get it. You picked the back row for a reason. It looked like a good hiding place. But then again, there is no place to hide with a good instructor.

Your teacher takes her slow, deliberate steps, never making eye contact until she is right at your desk. She bends at the knees until she is eye-level, looks at your notebook, the one with doodles and the words "I don't understand" scrawled across the cover. She spends some quality time working through the problem. Within a few minutes...you get it! The patient, professionally trained teacher wins again, and you make a mental note to sit in the front row next class.

How great is that?
