John, Dustin, All,
I think we have to think back to how we first got into the whole idea of
Quality. For me, it was a history teacher who mentioned the book a few times
in class. Throughout my years in high school, we discussed the book often
and applied it in different contexts. I don't think it is the teacher's
ability that counts towards greatness, although that plays in, I think it is
the teacher's ability to inspire the individual to seek knowledge on her own
which makes him truly great.
When you talk about teaching Quality then, I see it as setting the stage for
this event to happen within the mind of the individual student, the moment
when, inspired by a certain flash of insight, she says, "Hey, that sounds
interesting, I think I'll check it out." For such an event to happen, a
teacher must be charismatic, interesting, and responsive to students.
I have tried to teach Dynamic and static Quality to my little brother, as
well as explain his role as a chicken in a ruthless farmer's barn, but
because I was lacking in charisma (among other things), I was promptly told
to get the hell out of his room and let him go to sleep. Teaching Quality is
a skill to be mastered, one which seems to work within moments of awareness
rather than days of instruction and learning. However, I suppose a degree of
sQ is required in establishing and keeping that initial charisma and interest
which is an integral part of the inspiration process.
