"Did you know that teachers used to be students? Why are they now smarter than the students they teach? One reason is that they do the stuff. They stand at the blackboard, and they write and talk.
Please don’t just read the questions and then read the answers. Use a piece of paper and a pencil.
Please."~Stanley F. Schmidt (Life of Fred: Pre-algebra 1 with Biology)
