Makes sense to me. I'll add this - if the teacher is standing in front

Let me add this too. If the school has somehow
destroyed the child's love of learning, they have failed, grade "F" -
no matter what he has learned.
If a child gets out of school with a love of learning - it doesn't
matter what he has learned the school has succeeded, grade "A".
