So I am surprised by how well today went, even if the usual math meeting is the usual mix of teachers who haven't done their assigned work, somehow--see, somehow the issue does return to one of trickledown Confucianist virtue that's missing more often than not. But then there are deeper issues here than just that.

Other than that, things went smoothly as my reserach began with an interview that was smooth enough, even if I have no idea what the larger-scale intervention will look like overall. I'm just trying not to think about the paperload in the coming days.
