Yeah I get it, our politicians should just talk like Trump and sound like morons. So sick of his faux populist bullshit.

I had an instructor at my art college who one day had a student in our advanced typography class that was just lazy and couldn’t comprehend concepts. He was always being a pain in the ass.

One class the student said something like “I don’t get this, and I think you are teaching too fast.”

The teacher dryly said: “If I teach down to your level and slow everything down I will bore and be a disservice to all the other students in this class. I hope you understand that at least.”

And he went on. That student didn’t make it. He was gone after the second year.

I still use that as an example of how you have to keep the smart ones smart and hope others will learn something and maybe learn to learn. Come along or be left behind.
