This is due to the fact that some of the older students feel insufficiently entertained. My point here is that this is not an accident. Entertainment isn't our job, and it isn't our job for a number of good reasons. Now, I'm not going to try to encourage students to remain bored, but I do want students to realize that their boredom means something, and how they ultimately choose to deal with it is their responsibility. Furthermore, the fact that they are forced to wrestle with that is one of the finest points of this type of education. ]]
