[ExI] graduate in education

[Giovanni Santostasi]

When I was teaching in college I taught a couple of introductory Physics
classes to Education majors. I can write a book on the experience but it
can suffice to notice that I went to the Dean and I begged him not to give
me any more classes with only education majors in it. It was actually a
traumatic experience to teach them.
