rolig commented on the word pedagogy
I like this word; it has a long and venerable tradition. It is excellent, and I will so tag it. Pedestrian words like "teaching" and "education", which coddle the ignorant and talk down to the layman, hardly come close to the beauty of this word and its kin (pedagogical, pedagogue), which proudly display the dignity and valor of the profession they represent. This word belongs on a Yes, yes, yes! list.
