THOUGHTS . Teachin' and SPAM


If there's one thing i miss these days that i usually do before... that would be teaching. The joys of teaching, its fulfillment and all, is something a soul can crave. Include the sudden rush of cruelty-enhanced neurons that calculates the possible permutations allowed for one to 'torture' and push computer science students not only to their limits but beyond their limits. It's not about crossing the line this time... but moving the line (and the bars) that in a way limits learning. True learning.

Quite sad that one of my college buddy who happens to be the computer science dean of that school where i left, doesn't share the same principles with me. I'm not saying though that my 'style' is correct... and it should be followed. It would be just fine i think, that in a pool of kind and lovin'/nurturing/spoon-feeding college teachers and professors, there is one or two that poses more challenge than what smiles and kindness can offer sans the commercialism that infests the educationaly system in our country today.
