A post that I can do today about a meeting with some students of the fifth class at my school (but no one is a student in my classes), as part of a project aimed at so-called "excellence." Something that touched me.
My dear colleague and excellent Italian is a bit 'stage, playing the typical teacher whose contractual obligation to transmit knowledge, full stop. Its thesis: there is no need for such teachers. Students are in trouble instead of trying to show the need prof. One says participating in the growth of their students. Another fore the question: why the three of us (there was also a colleague of philosophy) do the teachers? The Italian colleague passed me the ball.
My answer is this more or less literally.
"I happened in recent days, wandering around the internet, come across the site of an Indian colleague who does not say" teach math, "but" teach to learn math. "Here, I think one of the greatest gifts and beautiful that you can do to young people, perhaps the largest and most beautiful, is to teach them to learn. And this explains my job. "
I say now on the threshold of the class, then I'm going to not miss the train.
But I look and I continue to think again. How to open a window in a room that often remains closed, the dust flies away and the colors come back to shine.
do not know if there are more bad trades than others. But certainly there is not one of my most beautiful: to make young people (and I see their faces in front of me) the most beautiful gifts.
