On Teaching

I'm nobody!

Who are you? Are you nobody, too?

Then there’s a pair of us.

Don’t tell! They‘d banish us, you know"

Emily Dickinson

(1830 - 1886)

I found these quotes and expressions on education useful and I always try to apply them in class.

• The objective of education is learning, not teaching. - Russell L. Ackoff

• Students in a class won't learn much from their teacher if they don't like their teacher.

• So everything is about the relationships between students and teachers. Everything is about that interaction between these two.

• "Teaching and learning should bring joy", here is one of my favorite talks on TED about Education.

• "Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all", Aristotle.
