Truly excellent: "His career narrowly missed being driven off course by a report from his biology teacher, placing him last in his year and dismissing his idea of becoming a scientist as a “sheer waste of time, both on his part, and of those who have to teach him.”

His story should give comfort to students who are under-appreciated by their teachers.

True. But it’s our fault, or at we least we create the conditions that maintain the norm. A story: In my seminar, I assign Fred Rodell’s 1936 essay “Goodbye to Law Reviews.” The students love it. “So true! All the same problems still exist today! Too long! Too many footnotes!”

it may be hacky to comment on, but seriously, law review articles are too damn long. trying to read two articles today and they are 71 and 89 pages 😭
