Also, if you want all your students to interface with you, any eccentricity will alienate some. They will think it's quaint. They point is, your purpose is to disturb all settled ideas, so you have to provide a warm, safe place to indulge in such radical behavior. Don't rub their noses in your nutty ideas. If they show a genuine curiosity, you can gingerly share a little at a time till you get them tamed.
Education is a matter of love.
You have to your students and they have to love you before anything can happen. You can translate almost any eternal constraint into your own way of doing things, by reframing. That sort of thing. Reframe, reframe, until you find a way that feels fine. Write articles about your classroom experiences and their implications and send them off to professional journals.
