Susan Groppi has a great post about the lessons of teaching: it's not about the teacher; it's about the students. It's a lesson that I learned as well, though in a completely different field; I had also wanted to tie the material of the introductory course to events in the wider world.
When I first realized that teaching is about the students, I felt so self-centered that I had ever thought otherwise and embarrassed that I'd ever thought otherwise. I'm relieved to see someone else writing about it.
