Re: Rules for teachers

Amid all of the recent clutter, some might have missed this excellent 
paragraph from Anselm.
Should be required reading for all teachers and candidates.

IMHO, the full written instructions for a dance should never be read

not in class and definitely not in a social situation. They're much too
tedious for that! Their place is on the teacher's desk when he or she
prepares their lesson, and their purpose is to communicate to the teacher 
how
the dance is meant to go, so they can figure out how to explain it to the
class -- often preferably by way of demonstration rather than reading out
chapter and verse, and not necessarily from the beginning of the dance
straight through to the end.
