I felt like more of a pro at teaching than I do at research.
I do think I'm fairly competent in many of the relevant ways, but I haven't developed the deep encyclopedic knowledge that many colleagues seem to possess. I'm also not that concerned about whether or not I ever do.
I know of educators who keep designing online lessons and posting in my country’s FB page for teachers during the school holidays. I admire their dedication but at the same time, think that that’s too much a price to pay. Balance is important!
