Rubrics

The man who can make hard things easy is the educator.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

The master shook his head. "I could answer your questions but I won't try because you wouldn't understand the answer. Now listen. Imagine that I am holding a pot of tea, and you are thirsty. You want me to give you tea. I can pour tea but you'll have to produce a cup. I can't pour the tea on your hands or you'll get burnt. If I pour it on the floor I shall spoil the floormats. You have to have a cup. That cup you will form in yourself by the training you will receive here." - Janwillem Van de Wetering, The Empty Mirror

To learn, you must want to be taught. -Proverbs 12:1
