After learning about the three important cogs of the differentiation machine, this quote from the Disney movie, The Incredibles came to my mind as a perfect description of how these cogs need to work together:

Bob (Mr. Incredible) and Gilbert Huph (Bob's Boss at Work for an Insurance Company) are at Bob's work in Huph's office discussing the company and it's policies:

Huph: You know, Bob... a company...
Bob: Is like an enormous clock.
Huph: ...Is like an enormous cl... Yes, precisely. It only works if all the little cogs mesh together. A clock must be clean, well lubricated, and wound tight. 

I hope my classroom and also all of my students together will work together in this manner as Huph described in the movie. If we do everything right, the machine should run smoothly. :)
