We goddless bastards realised that some time ago. That is why it is not about individual horses and trying to make it drink when it is determined not to. It is about having a trough, constantly topped up, and a nation of horses that we invite to drink, if they will.

And I'll hold extending the analogy to people who ride on the horses and poisoning of the well -water...

That's a somewhat accurate cliche. However, I've seen really good teachers do wonders with student who did nothing for other teachers.

When challenged to make a pun on the word "horticulture", Dorothy Parker replied:

"You can lead a ***** to culture, but you can't make her think."

Well, I see that Ms. Parker's statement has been censored. It's a synonym for "prostitute" that rhymes with "door".

As a retired teacher and school administrator, when students weren't learning, a big part of the blame was on the teacher...not all the blame...but a good part of it. Maybe Jesus wasn't such an effective teacher.

those that can't teach ... go into admin.

So next time, they should try a pool of coffee if the horse doesn’t take water.

That's a strategy worth trying
