His next assignment is not university so why should he pay attention to the training he doesn't need? I think Apollo is a jerk in the classroom because the classroom doesn’t met his needs.

And as long as the biting remarks steer the conversation forward, have at it! Yeah, manipulation isn't all we do, but it's a necessary component. The idea that I'm somehow accountable if my manipulation fails, though, is what we were talking about in those comments. I'm currently inclined to call more of what we do manipulation, if that makes you feel any better. <strong>Laurie</strong>, what I'm going for here is a way that TV can help teachers. It can help students, but there's a lot for teachers to learn there. And I assure you that pointed ears will be optional.

I'm still smarting from awhile back and feeling petty. Funny about the manipulation thing. We kinda went a few rounds on that one <a href="http://blog.mrmeyer.com/?p=78#comment-136" rel="nofollow">awhile back</a>. Yeah, the sarcasm is really misdirected here.

The only thing I fear is that the next conference or "convention" we go to requires the wearing of pointed ears.
