As a Prof. she nurtured, directed and controlled the students. In her practice there might be some of that but not to the extent of say 90 kids/young adults.
She had a whole mess of ppl doing exactly what she said or they'd fail. Life in Accademia is a bit different from "main stream". You think she enjoyed the charm of the university?
Might there be a teaching position close by, maybe a night school class to help satisfy some of the missed attention/control/interaction?
Pity me that the heart is slow to learn
What the swift mind beholds at every turn.
