I was a teacher.
I loved the job.
I didn't need to be intelligent.
Many of my students
Were much smarter than me.
Some were genius.
I never,
Not once,
Ever,
Felt threatened
By their wizardry.
I knew
I was
More knowledgeable.
And by the time
They caught up,
They didn't need
To feel so smart.

I admitted to my classes that I already knew many of them were much more intelligent than me. Everyone went away feeling good.
I may continue this as a series of anecdotes.
