“One of the classes I took with him had a grand total of five students. There was no place to hide, and it was brutal when one answered his question incorrectly, which for me was far too often.”
I have more often than not always found that I learned more from teachers who beat the crap out of me than ones who were casual and vague about stuff. Not always, of course. One doesn’t learn much from pure meanness. And I have had wonderful teachers who were terrifically friendly and more supportive in their manner.
But I have a certain respect for teachers who can walk that fine line of gently beating your head in. Maybe it’s Pavlovian on my part, seeking approval. Whatever. I think that’s one reason why I like Mark Levin so much.
