Thank you for the episode. I love your question at the end!
@Stan Prokopenko , the use of autodidact and self-taught have always bothered me and not felt fully authentic for the exact reasons you stated, but I’ve gone with it as a less self-deprecating way of saying that I haven’t studied in depth at a college or atelier. What would you recommend using instead?
Also, despite all your promos for Great Courses Plus, I’ve only just figured out the plus part makes it different from what I already listen to on audible. Noting how the plus subscription is different from audio only might be helpful for other distracted listeners who might wrongly think they already have access to it 😅.

Sometimes we’re stuck with bad teachers and when that happens, what do you do? Marshall and Stan address the frustration of one high school art student that’s facing this problem by trying to provide them with workable solutions. They also answer a few additional voicemail questions on learning how to teach art, how to increase output for commissions, and more.

Marshall and I give advice to a student’s about how to handle bad art teachers. Marshall gives some practical solutions and I talk about my own experience with a bad teacher growing up. We also answer some voicemails!
Teresa, I wouldn't say I've always been bothered by the term, but I've stopped using it relatively recently . . . What about 'self-directed'??? Doesn't necessarily imply we did it all by ourselves?
