>I am not a researcher --- I am a teacher

Ms. Pemberton;

How, may I ask, can one divorce the two?  

>I do well enough for my purposes asking those who know to fill me in 
>on what I don't

If you are in earnest as to the this statement, then I sumit you are but a teacher-by-proxy.  

Do you not research what "those who know" tell you?  Do you not question what you receive before passing such information along to your students?  As a "teacher," I would think you wish to better than "well enough."
