In the kingdom of God, no authority—including the authority that a teacher needs to have—can be grasped. It is like trying to hold a pint of oil in your right hand, with no container. Seeking to become the servant of all in the context of education is the way to become a very effective teacher. It keeps you out of jealousy feuds, and it means that all your emotional energy can be poured into teaching, right where it belongs.
