At the beginning of my teaching career there were many limitations on what I could do on my own with regards to delivering the material. With trial and error, even teachers learn through this concept, I did begin to figure out what I had to do to get the ideas to the students. As the years went by one does improve on their limitations for more than one improves on their good points. Good points are good to have but are things that may limit one on getting better.
