No. Not 'swine'.
Anyway, isn't issue-centrered what every responsible student does?
If I enrol in a philosophy programme, I know what my priorities are. I do
not need an officer at an uni to tell me. I may need _advice_. But the
freer the programme, it has always been understood that it's up to the learner
and the learner only to _learn_.
People misjudge academia because they think learners only learn from
teachers! In German it's the more confusing, seeing that 'lehrer' _is_
teacher.
And cfr. "Wind in the Willows":
"Learn me to swim, that's what I like!"
-- i.e. teach me to swim. Dialect.
Cheers,
JLS
