This is an encouraging post! Thank you for commending the next generation of scholars.

I've been a teacher for 13 years, and I have always cherished my students. I find that people who want to disparage the next generation rarely give these young ones the time and means to express their interests. There is plenty of intelligence, clarity, and passion among students today; we just have to build the forums for them to express it.

I so agree with you. I sometimes hear older people harrumphing about younger people, and I’m not sure what they are talking about. I am so glad to hear that you are seeing the same energy among your students. And sounds to me like your students are lucky to have you as their teacher!
