Grampa, I don't always agree with you on topics related to crime, Justice, punishment, etc., but when it comes to:
a) The political divide
b) Our education system
c) Abortion
b) The general state of the world
I most certainly DO agree.
I think you are an effing genius. I also think that if I had you as a teacher we would often quarrel, and I'm not sure I would even pass the exams, but I am 100% CERTAIN that I would learn 100% MORE than I would in any other science class. I find it wonderfully clever that you never gave the exact same definition twice - therefore, forcing the students to think for themselves, rather than memorize words and phrases they couldn't even understand.
I am eternally grateful that we have teachers like you in our society. The only problem I see is that not all students are willing to think critically. Maybe if our leaders could lead the world like you taught your classes?
Not much chance of that, I'm afraid.
Thanks so much again for these posts. I'm often to busy to comment, but I read nearly every one and enjoy them all thoroughly.
Oh my god, this is so spot-on!

I can't edit this comment, but I realize I accidentally wrote "to" instead of "too."
It's good to hear from my Number 1 fan!
I hope to see you again, soon.
