    Students who earn straight "A"s in school do so not because of good Teachers but in spite of bad Teachers.

        @Dave_White @thomaspluck @neiltyson You need only a few exemplary teachers in a lifetime. They become internalized, they are companions.

        @Dave_White @JoyceCarolOates @neiltyson I think of my good teachers often. And I still correspond with two of them- one from grammar school.

        @thomaspluck @Dave_White @JoyceCarolOates @neiltyson But does scoring an "A" from a "bad" teacher mean anything?

        @neiltyson Neil, I have great respect for you and your work, but do you have any data to support? I was an A student with great teachers.

        @neiltyson Seriously? Certainly some do, but a terrible insult to teachers, in my opinion. Especially from a skilled educator like you.
