"In culinary school I had to take an Intro to Baking class and the teacher was German. Every time we had a practical
exam he would put a piece of paper on your station and come by and write what you were doing wrong in German so he would have notes on what to mark you down for. Well, I would just read it and fix all my mistakes. Got an A in that class."
