    We had a young, hippy science teacher through 70s grade school. Looking back, that woman made more impact on my life than any other teacher.

    Every year, every fucking year, she’d start with the difference in fact and opinion. “Yeah, I get it already. Can we move on?” Apparently not many others got that bit of education.

    She taught the scientific method and how it works, she taught how to experiment, how to measure. I still set a beaker down and wait for it to settle before moving on. And I’m not in science!
