“Sorry kids, you are not the authority in the classroom.
Me Teacher.
You student. Me Teach , you learn.
End of discussion . . . Education is not a business. You are not my customer.
 My classroom is not Burger King. You do not get to ‘have it your way.’”

I delight in learning
so that I can teach.

Hello, hello, hello
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
 --Pink Floyd

I was educated once, and it took me years to get over it.
