All teaching is tough work, but the thing about k-12 classroom teaching is in an important sense it's a job designed for you to fail at.

Hockey Canada completed a study which concluded that 1 quality run practice with many puck touches, game like, decision making, challenging and fun will equal up to eleven "regular" full ice games. Keep that study in mind when designing your practice to maximize development.

Here is the last picture with all the chess pieces since they are finished printing. These were designed in @Desmos part of a summative project on integrals, calculated the volume of them, imported into @tinkercad revolved, tinkered with and then 3D printed. @NCHS_CT
4 black chess pieces, 7 white chess pieces and 2 orange chess pieces that were 3D printed.

Several times I've given people that I work with this example -> A good lawyer would have no trouble distinguishing between a real attorney and an actor pretending to be one. I might struggle. But the lawyers would struggle to identify someone who was pretending to be a quant.

Something people are not getting about ChatGPT: it is impressive but ONLY if you don't have domain knowledge. Exactly like someone who came out of journalist school. In real life, you ask the EXPERT and specialist to teach you stuff, not the journalist.
