[T]he interaction between students and teachers has become one of "intellectual hide and seek." The students try to match what they think the teacher wants to hear. If you can do that, you can be "successful" in school.

Just talked with Becs by phone. She and her entire feline family are alive and coping. She's been getting requests for assurances, but can't respond to all of them, so she asked me to let y'all know. (It's nice so many are concerned. I'm impressed with you all.)
Her electricity is out, which means no sump pump, so the water in her basement is about 18 inches deep. She's afraid her furnace, washer and dryer are kaput, and she's sadly lost some things, like journals and yarns.
The fire department arrived while we were talking - they'll pump out her basement for her.
Estimate for return of her electricity is this evening, so by tomorrow she may be back in the blogosphere.

Electricity is back on. I can't get to my blog for some reason. Still water in the basement but much less scary. Work has a late opening today.
Thank you for posting this!
