This is an insult to the intelligence of the children. You're claiming that they are so poor at learning, and you are so superior at learning, that all of their learning combined is dwarfed by the learning of a single man--you.

Any teacher who learns more than his collective students is a failed teacher. Period. Such a teacher's life has been worthless--this is a mathematical fact.

Being proud of gaining more from your volunteer service than did the people you are supposed to be helping is not something to brag about. It is morally reprehensible and brings to mind all of the criticisms of poverty tourism that have so often been levied against your type of exploiter.

Usually, the money that wealthy poverty tourists spend on travel would be thousands of times more efficient had they just donated that money.

You are gleeful that you profited more from your volunteer work than the supposed recipients did. Your self-reported tale of exploitation is disgusting.

You're taking a little kind of cliche platitude and running in a weird direction with it ... really weird ...

Oh no! Someone on the internet says my highly upvoted analysis is.... "weird"!

What a worthless comment.

You seem to be trying very hard to start off with getting off on the wrong footing on HN given how confrontational you are being. Your "highly upvoted analysis" can't possibly be that highly upvoted given the low karma of your account.

Not at all. It's praising the view that the children have on the world which is different than yours.

Your sentence doesn't even parse. I have no idea what you're saying.

If you have problems parsing even that simple statement, perhaps you should re-evaluate your decision to write multiple paragraphs tearing apart the same commenters earlier short comment, as you appear to have problems understanding the contents of his writing.
