Are you supposed to be teaching the younger ones but not them teaching you?

    Great question. When I taught, it went both ways. Not learning something from my students would have been a waste of a day.

    teaching can come from the
    least likely places sometimes...

    Anyone can learn from anyone if they are open to it.

    I have no idea what you are supposed to be doing.  I have no teaching responsibility at the moment.  I went through a time when I felt like I needed to educate the ignorant world, but, alas I have come to terms of never having success in that venture.  Now I try to ignore the ignorant.  Sometimes I cannot help myself.

    It depends what's being taught.
    I can offer insights on all sorts of things to youngsters, and they tend to come to me a fair bit.
    But I go to them for tech and IT savvy, and to fill me in on the latest slang, music and trends in their worlds.
