When the child does not understand what you are saying, you tell him again and again and you tell him in different ways. You realize that the child must understand the truths. You explain the truths as you know them, the best that you can. You tell stories and parables. And you speak in words that are familiar and you use baby talk when necessary. Baby talk in that you do not speak exactly as you would speak to an adult. And the baby talk is not obvious.
And so I hope the baby talk [here] is not obvious!!! It is time for you all to understand the material as I have given it, to use your mind. You have been in this class long enough to pass now beyond kindergarten. And I [no] longer feel that it serves that I speak to you in the most simple of terms. You have been here long enough now. When I speak to you, I shall therefore expect on your part some effort to understand me if necessary. I shall expect more of you, and you must expect more of yourselves.
