Obviously, the answer is no, huh? Big law firms don't hire attorneys to do pro bono work and hang out on a computer forum.

I get lots of kids who were raising themselves and never had a real chance in the world.

I personally believe that middle school teachers are invariably some of the most wonderful teachers in the world. And I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that there are teachers out there that make a difference in kids' lives. I salute those teachers.

I generally have a pretty good idea of authenticity also....shall we dance?

What is your point of asking me that question?
The point of asking you about your life experience is to point out that you might be able to learn a thing or two from someone else who has more experience so that you don't have to get it the hard way.

Many respected (and arguably older posters) who regularly work with people, took a cautious approach to this thread. Rather than charging in and telling them they are wrong, maybe just maybe they have some life experience behind them that you don't.

Knowledge of how the world works and not just how we wish it would work is most often a protection.

That's really the point here.
