Teaching is aboaut as erotic as playing softball or a family picnic. This attempt to eroticize or otherwise mystify schooling is probably at the basis of an inability achieve a rational political perspective on schools & faculty.

Geez. Teachers can be and often (usually) develop a very good human relationship with their classes. That's all. And human relations take to many different and complex manifestations for this sort of reductive perspective on them. If a sentence about human relations contains or can be rewritten to contain any form of the word "essential," then that sentence is reductive nonsense.
