Yesterday my old wall clock’s spring gave out, and fixing it felt like watching a good triple-jumper — that precise hop, step, and jump rhythm, each phase relying on the last. In the long jump, I tell my students it’s not just the leap, but that final solid footplant on the board, no foul. Like when a student finally grasps Newton’s laws, bagundi, a clean take-off. The real heartbreak? Seeing a child’s best effort lost on a count-back rule — numbers on paper forgetting the effort behind the jump.
