I love this quote as it's a perfect indication for how one should teach. Often educators can get stuck with direct teach methods that simply just give information to students instead of finding the methods towards teaching them "how" to think. I try to keep this in mind when I'm teaching, and try to be understanding in thoughts that not everyone learns the same way, but it is my job to provide the "how" so that they can be able to use those skills over and over again. It relates back to another famous quote: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you can feed him for a lifetime."Saturday, August 24, 2013

This is a great quote! If we teach children to do something, they will go further than doing it for them. If we teach a child what to think, we are thinking for them. Children have their own mind.
