Brief, rather; and not offensive. I have seen so many remarks
on these sites from teachers who seek to "know" their students in
contexts other than teaching and learning, and have responded at
length to those remarks at length, that I took advantage of short
hand this time to make my point.

My point is that we learn all we need to and should know about
our students from exchanges between us and them in the
teaching/learning process. We should want to know how each thinks;
anything else gets in the way of that process.
