Abstract
It was one of those gorgeous autumn afternoons: a deep October blue sky contrasted with the brilliant golds and crimsons of the trees, the dazzle of the sun moderated the crispness in the air, and the spirit of the Homecoming crowd brought the stadium to vibrant life. It was a perfect day for football - and hardly the time or the place to be meditating about teaching. But that's where I first began to wonder ... to wonder why the football coach seemed to have so much more success with his team than I had with my mathematics class. A strange thought, it was.
