I started wearing glasses when I was 10 and had a similar experience of my 5th grade teacher moving my desk to the front of the room. I am a back-of-the room student and was not happy. Thank you for this lovely piece and for including the link to Michael Nye. The video on his site is really beautiful and thought and thought-provoking. Now I need to listen to his podcast.
Oh no! Sorry that happened to you, too! I was front of the class only in English! Definitely back of the class for math---not that it helped me ; ) And so happy this turned you toward Michael Nye's beautiful work. It's truly a gift. I think of it often.

As someone who works at an eye clinic I really enjoyed reading this!
: ) So glad to hear it! : )
Always wonderful to read your missives, Danusha. Thank you. And thanks for the information on Michael Nye’s project too. 🙏🏻❤️
His project is so gorgeous! As is the podcast that goes along with it.
Dang. Thank you for saying what compelled you because it landed here and no doubt elsewhere.
