• People think of good and bad teachers as engaged
  in the same activity, as if education was a
  substance, and that bad teachers supply a little
  of the substance, and good teachers supply a lot.
  This makes it difficult to understand that
  education can be a destructive process, and that
  bad teachers are wrecking talent, and that good
  and bad teachers are engaged in opposite
  activities.
