At the very least, this is an extremely pessimistic view about teaching, and about people in general (i.e., people do not change, and people cannot have any influence on one another). If you really just needed more information, it might have been good to ask for more info. And why saying that she has to change her attitude > towards students a put down? Sorry you see that way. Someone might interpret it to mean that there is something wrong with the instructor's attitude toward students. It might also appear somewhat preachy, especially since the preceding comment would appear to suggest that there is no particular reason to change one's attitude (i.e., behaviour of students cannot be changed anyway). Those of us familiar with Louis's postings appreciate he would probably not intend such interpretations.
