...unavoidable. In those cases, we will work together as a team to find a way that suits YOU best to make it as easy (and fun) as possible.

...who believes the process of modern education is easy for the one being subjected to its process is either ignorant or unwise. One could suppose that's another way of pointing out those who haven't been part of it, but that's not my purpose.
