I agree a hunnerd percent, Greg. That's kind of what I mean by observing
that the *role* of teacher has become kind of saturated with this
particular kind of authority that few individual teachers can really
influence in any profound way. It's something that has been
institutionalized and therefor for is a matter of indoctrination applied to
students, teachers, parents, er, everybody who gets herded through the
system. It's a mind-boggling difficult situation to address for anyone who
has a mind to change.
Thus, interversity. A different place. A chance to create different
relationships.
