Crassroom - a poem and dialog by T Newfields

Crassroom - a pictorial poem by T Newfields

Melissa: Too many classrooms are this way.

Satoru: Particularly at universities, we have professors whose real forte is writing papers – not teaching.

Tim: Actually, at all levels good teachers are a rarity.

Liao: There's something unpredictable about good teachers. The educational system is basically designed to make McDonalds-hamburger-cook-instructors, not gourmets.
