Teaching The Teacher

It was in Grade 5 that I discovered the pleasures of teaching the teacher. With my superior musical knowledge, I knew that Mr. Bolin had made a mistake while teaching us a new song. Fun teaching the teacher. He wasn't as pleased as I.

When I became a teacher I let my students know that yes, I was sometimes wrong, but trying to prove me wrong they would ignore what I got right and end up ignorant.

Now older and wiser, I take a break from yes-butting to give credit to thoughts that have some merit.
