I've been told today that if I give a talk to a classroom of 15 and 16 year olds, and they sit quietly, look at me, but show now visible reaction to anything I say or do, it's a roaring success. One of them even put away his smartphone.

Them putting away their smartphone is basically "I've made it as a teacher."

I suspect if I were their regular teacher, they'd get bored of me soon. Today I managed to shock them a little by saying they don't own their smartphones.
