Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.

If you belong to that group of people who think teaching is just a matter of passing knowledge from one person to another, you should reconsider your position.

When you are already in front of tour students is when you realize that being a teacher will represent more than just their school master. At the end you will feel this attachment, some of them stronger than others.

And it’s when you find yourself wondering how you’re going to make them understand that learning, if they want it to be significant and helpful for the rest of their lives, will mean that they will need to be a active character in it.

I think this is the real goal in every teaching-learning process. If you just go giving them the answers the will never be able to understand and analyze something by themselves. Students will go through school expecting everything to be given without any effort. Being at the at end, and please forgive for using this word, but I couldn’t find any other to describe it better, a good-for-nothing kind of people.

That’s why we, as teachers, must encourage them to never stop learning, to always try to look beyond. After all, learning doesn’t mean that you know everything by heart; it means that you understand it and can apply your knowledge.
