What Kind of Authority Do You Have?

There's immediate problem that a student might say what right you have to give us this thing that we have to sit on the ass for ten hours. What kind of authority is it? Who gave you that authority? The student gives you that authority by the disappear. No, but when the student begins to revolt and begins to ask you a question, then he takes away the authority. There's a real awkward moment there. An awkward moment, hopefully. Well, maybe that's the spark you talk about. That's the spark because it's your being that is the teacher.
