Ezra Stiles, pres. of Yale College, arguing for the need for a law professor to teach courses for students who would not become lawyers (1777):
"Fewer than half of the Gentleman educated at College enter into either of the learned professions of Divinity, Law or Physic [Medicine]. By far the greater part of them after finishing their academic course, return home, mix in with the body of the public, and enter upon commerce or the cultivation of their estates. And yet perhaps the most of them in the course of their lives are called forth by their country into some one or other of various branches of civil improvement in the public offices of the state. [...] How happy a community abounding with men well instructed in the knowledge of their rights and liberties."




"For if seminaries of learning [i.e., colleges] are not patronized by the state and for want of this patronage, a liberal education is very expensive, the consequence will be that the rich alone can afford to educate their children; a consequence not desireable in any government, and highly dangerous in our own." --Gov. Morgan Lewis of NY, recommending grants of state aid to Columbia College in 1805

I hope I'm never so arrogant as to think I can't learn anything from participating in, or teaching, a beginners class.

Agreed. Looking forward to the day I perfect 'Basic 1'

I played beginner last month at a seminar...because in that art, I was. I learned some neat things on top of the many I had already known. Winning!

Tired today but was a great session last night, excellent to see my students starting to grasp the more diffcult concepts of Kenpo and also great to see that they can still teach me a thing or two about a technique. Great seeing these things in differing perspectives as seen through the eyes of a beginner.

It's good to teach beginners classes, you get more patient, better at teaching, and occasionally you might see a flaw where you messed up on a technique and fixing it. Also helps you to get to know the lower belts more

Hmm salmon and steamed veg for dinner, tasty and good for me

 

[arnisador]

Lunchtime.
