Student: "Can you please explain how to do question 4?  I don't understand it."

Me [looking at student's lab manual with the questions, thinking it looked pretty straightforward]: "Um, did you read the paragraph right before the question?"

Student: "No."

Me: "Well..?"

Student: "Oh." [Reads paragraph.]  "Oh!  I get it!  Thanks!" You can lead someone to knowledge, but you can't make them think.

Of course it isn't Beaker isn't it?
