Teacher, Leave Them Kids Alone
O Sage, if thou my Teacher be,
Bring me all thy Humility.
Seize not my hand to lead me home.
But show me a Path, that I may find My way,
Alone.
"A guru gives us himself and then his system; a teacher gives us his subject and then ourselves."

William's Whimsical Words:
Pink Floyd had it right.
We don't need no education
We don't need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher leave them kids alone
Hey, Teacher, Leave them kids alone
All in all it's just another brick in the wall
All in all you're just another brick in the wall
