When you say that you showed, basically, you showed up and found a group that lacked the basics, but we're not here to teach anything.
Well...
If you have a group that lacks the basics, for whatever reason, according to him, then isn't your job to make sure that this group knows the basics?
And isn't that part of teaching?
Isn't that part of what you're trying to do?
If you get to anywhere, in any walk of life, and you're now in a managerial position, and you evaluate the people that are working for you,
and you think that they have shortcomings in certain areas, isn't your job to make sure that you fill that gap and that you fill those shortcomings with education or with experience or whatever the case may be in whatever walk of life.

things that we're missing, big things, basic things that we're missing, you have to make sure that those things are addressed.
And in his own very statement, he's like, well, we're not here to teach things, but you don't have what it takes, because that's essentially what he's saying.
We're not here to teach these things, but you don't have what it takes, so you just have to believe in what we say and take it because it is what we say, it is what we think, it is what we know, and you gotta learn from us.
