- I've had some chances to teach people who are interested in learning
- something. I was a tutor on the spur of the moment. I see that people
- make so many simple mistakes. They have the intelligence, but they
- are just careless. Some people develop an attitude from their
- continual frustrations. It also seemed to me that teachers do not see
- most students at such a level of detail. They act more like coaches,
- but the game is played by the student. I think there is a big gap
- between a single teacher and 30 students. A gap that should be bridged.
