yes brendan, we're on the same page--I want to be a good teacher and try,
but also know that most learning happens because individuals read, think,
write, communicate and explore with help and guidance from
teachers...those that interfere with that process, either as poor teachers
or indolent students are typical of many but I took heart in my own
learning process by knowing what I loved and reading and writing for
myself as well as for school credit...my post was not intended to put
blame on students or divert it from bad teachers so much as intended to
focus responsibility for learning where it belongs--on the individual.  It
sounds like your emergence in college indicates that, and we bananafish
have not doubt of your individual desire to learn, so I guess I really
wanted you to not let bastards make less of you than you can be! will
