Whether our complaint did it or not I don t know, but the next semester she was assigned to study hall and we got the Spanish teacher for our French class. That didn't work very well either, but at least she was a bit more balanced. Under the rules of the teacher, I didn't learn very much and anything I did learn I resented. I would have had a whole new attitude to the rules of grammar and to learning the language. The birth of Jesus Christ came to end a religion of law and duty and to replace it with a love-faith relationship with God.
Love is always a better motivator in our lives than duty.
It works better in schooling, and it works better in the rules of home life. I can remember when I started to care about girls at school and how that changed my attitude to a lot of rules at home about looking and smelling good. Before I cared about girls I hated Mom's rules about taking baths, combing my hair, brushing my teeth, whatever. If I did those things, I did them grudgingly. But when I started to notice girls, suddenly I was spending all kinds of time trying to look good.
