The millennials and some of these Zers who have grown up and joined our teaching force were raised in a model that put them at the center of the family circle, which helps explain why millennial and Gen Z teachers would want more interaction with authority figures. Example: Learning from the past is not the same as living in the past. Learning from the past is the only way one can truly live either progressively or conservatively in the present, whatever one’s preference might be. But don’t expect Millennials and Zers to believe such a tale.

Word: the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must Part of Speech: proverb Etymology: Calque of Ancient Greek δυνατὰ δὲ οἱ προύχοντες πράσσουσι καὶ οἱ ἀσθενεῖς ξυγχωροῦσιν (dunatà dè hoi proúkhontes prássousi kaì hoi astheneîs xunkhōroûsin) in Thucydides’s History of the Peloponnesian War 5.89 (the Melian dialogue). Thucydides presents the sentence as part of an ultimatum from Athens to the city of Melos demanding tribute. The Melians having rejected the order, their city was taken by force and their population enslaved and massacred by the Athenians. The following year, Athens suffered a serious defeat that lead to its conquest by Sparta. The wording that has become standard is from Richard Crawley’s 1874 translation. 1. The weak cannot resist the decisions of the strong; power, not morality, decides the outcome of any dispute. Example: Bitter is the necessity of it. It knows no law. In the world the strong do what they can, and the weak suffer what they must. Example: But the present organisation of society, national and international, works on the principle that the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must.
