 EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY |
|||||||||||||||||||
I believe that every student has the potential to make a difference in society and that it is the job of the instructor to guide them. In fact, the more difficult the student - the greater the reward. If all else fails, however, send them to Swamp School. |
