A specific point in my education from which I can recall learning one thing and wishing I had learned another was my undergraduate experience. In preparing to teach high school English I studied a great deal of educational theory and some lesson and unit planning. What I wish I had learned was management of the paper load of having sometimes upwards of 120 students, each writing several times per week. To a young English teacher this is overwhelming. Much of what I learned about how to manage it can from trial and error and the help of experienced colleagues.
