There is, thank God, no teacher-meter, and there is never going to be one. A teacher’s major contribution may pop out anonymously in the life of some ex-student’s grandchild. A teacher, finally, has nothing to go on but faith, a student nothing to offer in return but testimony.

Wendell Berry (b. 1934) American farmer, educator, poet, conservationist
Essay (1985), “Wallace Stegner and the Great Community,” What Are People For? (1990)

Stop putting targets next to schools!

I’m not happy that we’re having another senseless war. I don’t think we should have bombed anyone.

That said, I’m fed up with hearing claims that we hit a school, because that responsibility lies with them, not us. If you build a military base right next to a school, you’re asking for trouble.

You don’t get sympathy points by saying, “Oh look, they hit another school,” when we both know you built a target next to a school — or a school next to a target. It’s a cowardly act, done so you can later claim how inhumane it was. You’re the one who put your own children at risk.

And if someone can point out that we’ve done the same thing, then we’re cowardly idiots too.
