[quote=Anonymous]Meaning you don't think it ever happens or it's a rude/nasty thing to say or it's typically melodramatic (and almost nherently so in real time)? I certainly think it happens -- my dad gave up singing for decades after a really bad experience in school (only to take it up again in retirement and love it anew). And I've seen teachers whose approach is alienating and dispiriting for some students. The impact of those teachers probably depends on where/when they're encountered (e.g. more dangerous when a kid encounters them at his/her first chance to take it a subject in school, or at a decision making point about whether to take advanced classes in the subject) and what kind of support the kid has for his/her interest at home. But if we believe that teachers can awaken a love in a subject, why shouldn't we believe they can destroy it as well? [/quote]
