The Difference Between Teachers and Academics

The Difference Between Teachers and Academics

I love that scene in Stoner when
Given the worse class load by Lomax
Stoner tells his stunned students
They can forget about the course
They thought they were taking 
Because they’re going to be studying
English Renaissance Poetry
And the students just stare at him
As if there must be some mistake
Before opening their notebooks
To write down what he’s saying
