161. let me clarify something

My reference to "having students" should have read "sitting next to students". My bad. I was once a "traditional student" in another century, literally. I may have been one of the "coffee shop ranters" back then. Then I thought joining the army, which I did, was a good idea. A couple of years later, I decided that the Air Force offered more adventure, and many places my Army specialty did not. I learned a lot more, but still took classes. A lot my classes had a wide range of ages. Finding naive and shallow coffee house rants amusing is not anti intellectual. Neither is scorning them. A very wise anthropology PhD once taught me that to acceptance leads to understanding. To truly understand something, you must first accept it on its own terms. You are simply judging without attempting understand.
