A real Master is not a teacher: a real Master is an awakener. His function is totally different from a teacher; his function is far more difficult.

And to allow somebody to wake you up needs great trust, great surrender.

We want our teachers to be trained so they can meet the obligations, their obligations as teachers. We want them to know how to teach the science of reading. In order to make sure there's not this kind of federal-federal cufflink.
