Carl (are you REALLY called Spackler?) .As a student who wants to be as good as he can be ,WHENEVER he gets there,It is important to me to told what is correct -it is up to me to do it ---and I work hard trying.The important thing is I know TGM is correct- after spending time with the best people-I KNOW.
The teacher must teach.
The student must absorb and apply.
As a student-I work hard .
But it took me a long time to work on the right things-I practiced 6DAYS A WEEK FOR YEARS -ON THE WRONG THINGS!

Sure, the student must absorb and apply .................but if you don't have the teacher:(
