Subject: RE: No such thing as a B-sharp
I've watched this merry go round run before. I think I'll mostly sit out this ride, and just throw peanuts at the riders as they coame past ...

Any decent "teacher" has the task of presenting new information in terms that the student can relate to something that the student already understands; and the teacher must avoid the attempt to teach technicalities incomprehensible in the context of the student's existing understanding before the student is prepared for, and capable of understanding, the new information. The lesson must fit the student's needs.

This does occasionally lead to incomplete understanding by the student, and an occasional technical error.

This is called the "Lies to Children" Educational Method.

"I know where I'd place my bet.. Pupils are often less knowledgeable than their teachers, in fact it's a fairly common phenomenon. Why make unfair assumptions about a teacher you've never met, based on hearsay from a pupil who is obviously of relatively little learning? Could it perhaps be that you just wanted to show off your own {limited} knowledge? "

Yep, this is why they are called 'Trolls'... Truly, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing... and empty vessels make most sound.
