[Rhodes22-list] teachers - Chris?

[Geankoplis]

Hey Jb,
	You never got the right teacher.  How about an 8th grade science
teacher who set his mustache on fire (what his intent was does not count) or
the time made up a slightly too large batch of Ammonium tetra Iodide and
almost blew the doors off the cabinet where it was "safely" stored.  Or the
time he dropped....oh never mind.

Chris

In the 12 years of public schools, I probably have had about 35 different
teachers. I can't think of 1 that impressed me even a little bit. They all
seemed to be on a power trip. I think they have one of the best jobs, 3
months off every year. Great for planning long vacations. I was going to be
a teacher but circumstances required plan B, get married & have kids, (but
not in that order.) I've trained many adults, I don't think that's anything
like trying to teach children. I agree, a very noble profession but I think
it is abused by many, mostly in higher education.
