The Problem

OK. Now I shall reveal what is known as the conflict of this story. I can't do my job. I've been acting like I can, but I don't know the computer programs that I teach.

It's not like I haven't tried to learn them, nor is it like I'm not surrounded by a talented group of kids who know exactly what they are doing. I took a 3-hour graduate level course last summer to learn my programs, but I was the slowest pupil in class and therefore didn't learn a whole lot.

I can manage the kids fine, and we get along swell. But when it comes to training the next generation I don't know what I'm doing. I have a plan though, that the 3 aforementioned kids will create lessons to teach me how to teach others Indesign, Photoshop and the basics of design.

Here comes the story. I shall attempt to learn these programs over the next several months. I will concentrate hard and try to absorb the information presented. Crap. I'm doomed for failure. I will have to divulge that the emperor has no clothes. . .
