In the Chinese system, much emphasis is placed on the difference between "right" and "wrong" ideas. My students (above), seniors in the school of interpretation and translation, did not know the difference between fact and opinion. We spent time discussing this distinction, which they found to be quite a revelation. It is at times like these that I am truly glad to be a teacher.

Oh my goodness!!! I was thinking about it last week!!!! Some of my professors also do not know the difference between a fact and an opinion. They sometimes speak their opinions from their authority seat to me and my classmates as if those were the facts--especially about religion as I told you before. It makes me be very distrusting toward them because when they talk about counseling and things I do not understand I am not sure if they are presenting a fact or an opinion. It makes it hard for me sift through.
