    What, you never heard of creativity?!

    It’s this kind of literal-mindedness among educators that stifles the young.

    Yeah, it would be fine if they were just being creative about it, but instead they just stare at me with their dead fish eyes when I ask what they think Shelley means by “interpreters of unapprehended inspiration.” Then, see, it turns out that none of them know what “unapprehended” means. None.
