The student/teacher, or "classroom", protocol, in which the student submits to the authority of a teacher, is optimal for the transfer of knowledge and wisdom.


Teaching is an act of love, and in essence, this "wholesome connection" is a transfer, in wo direction only, of knowledge and wisdom. The teacher must be paid, and the teacher will occasionally learn something from the student, but neither of these aspects are material to the essence of the act. What is essential is that the relationship enables the teacher to craft the experience, and thereby craft the student. In the student/teacher protocol, the teacher is the potter, and the student is the clay pot spinning on his wheel.
