Thank Matthew Arnold and T.S. Eliot for the impetus for that (a rant I'll not include here).
Actually, that's a rant I'd like to hear . . . .
I think there's a lot of writing out there that could be more accessible if the teachers loved what they were teaching. The love is catching.
It can be. I went all the way through AP Physics because I had a teacher who was passionate about the subject. Then again, my pre-calculus teacher really loved him some math, too, and he was pretty much the nail in the coffin of my interest in the subject; the passion did not transfer from him to us.
