| Nov 11, 2011 at 11:01 | comment | added | jwenting | there's 2 groups of teachers: those who are passionate about their subject and those who hate it but can't do anything else to earn a living. For the first group it's probably true that teaching improves their skills, for the second it just reaffirms their own inadequacies. | |

| Sep 27, 2011 at 17:08 | comment | added | maple_shaft♦ | @ShawnD. I figured as much... because you know what they say, 84% of statistics are made up. I think more importantly it should be taken for the larger message. I retain a lot more of what I teach than what I read. This is a given to me as a natural observation of myself. That was the point I trying to make. | |
