Default Re: Mistakes that new teachers make

I initially made the mistake of assuming that I must always be right. I've since realized that it's perfectly alright to say "I don't know" or "Let me check and get back to you." Before I finally realized this seemingly simple point, I couldn't count how many times I had launched into an explanation only to then realize that I didn't understand the language point well enough to give a clear, concise answer.

Iīve made that mistake one or two times too. I go into explaining, and then I canīt finish.
