It could be my being a luddite, but I choose to blame this devil box. <BR/><BR/>Bigger, better and faster? Hmmm. <BR/><BR/>So what is an adequate definition of teaching?

But really for me, it's all about causing the least amount of lasting psychological harm.Miss Smuggershamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14206572373676151684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9712793.post-45913295984331657742007-02-15T22:19:00.000+13:002007-02-15T22:19:00.000+13:00Yeah, I do the whole 'Cult of Personality' and I d...Yeah, I do the whole 'Cult of Personality' and I do it better, bigger and faster than anyone else, but it's not a good description of teaching overall and I won't recommend it as a method, let alone the method, for educating the leaders of tomorrow, et al, ad nauseam.Matthew R.
