Oh.My. (thought in a George Takei voice)
Impotent rage is a waste of time. All the people (and I’m not going to say teachers because I think this is more about people than teachers) who stand in your way are an opportunity to learn.
Some we learned how to bow down to. Some we learned how to liquify. Most were a compromise in the middle. I’m fiercely a believer of never letting someone stand in your way or take away your power-it’s up to you to figure out how to neutralize them.
We don’t take it personally when they suck. We just work on making the best of it, whether it’s by avoidance, accommodation, or full-on Hulk Out Dragon Obliteration (trademark pending).
