Aaawww, this reply made me very emotional, in a good way :) It's great to know that I'm not alone in this frustration. I understand that sometimes it's not always the teachers, it's also administration, and the students. I currently teach a large 3 hour lecture hall at night (6 PM to 10 PM). No matter how I try to be entertaining or make the class more engaging, half the class is on the phone or about to sleep :( But I can't blame them. The 3 hour lecture format is antiquated.

Congrats on the career change, engineering fellowship, and the courage to learn something new! I'm not surprised it didn't take you only a few months to learn. With patience and love for what you do, anything is possible. You're very inspiring!

I know HTML and CSS, and I would love to learn Python and JavaScript. Chalktips was written in Python, and MagTag. My husband is the CTO and he wrote all the code. Just two married couple wanting to build tech tools :)
