Looking back, all the best professors I have were one of 2: - The "Sergeant" - The "Actual carpenter" The "Sergeant" is somebody who HAS a disciplined way of working and still a minimal yet consistent set of rules for their students. You learn that you can't weasel your way with him. However, you never worry about being mistreated or facing injustice (which sounds ironic because "Sergeant" screams and all that, but is not mistreating you but hammering into you discipline) The "Sergeant" TRULY CARE about you. And that means it will not allow you to "go to war" if you are lacking! The opposite of it is "THE BULLY", and he after you, period. ---- The "Actual carpenter" is somebody who teaches his actual experience working. It will not just explain the theory of "the chair", HE HAS BUILD A CHAIR BEFORE, and it will teach you that. He really can answer 'What is the point of this?' The opposite of it is "THE PRETENDER", who has no idea of how to make a chair but certainly has a strong opinion of how to make one. ---- People that have not experienced the good version of the "old ways" are terrified of "discipline and hard work". My grandmother was a "Sergeant". You NEVER mess with her. How many times do she hit me or abuse me? zero. A good "Sergeant" does not need to. She only needs to make an intense look at me (or anybody else btw), and that is all.
