Today I was able to observe several EC students at Kaye's school, which was fantastic and very exciting. I had a small realization though: I am still at 22 years of age unable to say my "teacher" name satisfyingly. Miss Skarda has unfortunately three S's too many for a former lisper. Naturally, this could pose an especially significant problem for teaching special ed students, who may utilize extra mimicking skills. I still have a very vivid memory of trying to correct my Thai students' pronunciation of an "r" and finding that instead I had only managed to switch their "s" to a "th." At least then I went by "Miss Kara"...

Just imagining a mildly amusing scenario in the fall in which I am consistently avoiding saying my own name...
