RickCorey: What a poetic way to phrase generosity!
I have found as a teacher, that the information you give out sometimes comes back in much greater magnitude.
I first began teaching as a teaching assistant at San Diego. The kids were so smart I had to stay up at night just to read the journals because they wanted to know what was happening right now in the field--even though it was just a 101 class.
I found out if you give all you've got, smart kids will take the information in as their own and "cook" it along with their other interest, and you will get it back --much enhanced--on their term papers!
