"So be it."? "I guess?"?
Better not guess; doesn't count for much in this world. Better to think
about it.
This "So be it." sounds like the modern, popular "Whatever."
I guess I've been trying to get you people to understand that Thinking
*is* important, not only for your students but for you as well.
I fear that my words fall on (most but not all of) you about as much as
the students, parents and administrators whom you try to convince that
Art is important.
