Fucking propped.

I understand that you're supposed to try to be supportive of children's abilities but lying to them doesn't do them any favors either. I think that giving them a bit of constructive advice on how to improve themselves or their abilities. I always get at least one student that says, "So you don't like it?"

"I DO love it. But you can make it better. There's no such thing as perfect but, dang it, we've gotta try."

Jam it back in, in the dark.
