Why We Teach
More... Less...
For the Learner To Rush through the Syllabus
To Excite Passion Out of Fear of Failure
For Understanding To Dispense Information Only
For the Test of Life For a Life of Tests
We should keep in mind that we do what we do in education for the learner, his needs, interests and aspirations, and not simply to cover the content.
We should encourage our students to learn because they are passionate about learning, and less because they are afraid of failure.
We should teach to help our students achieve understanding of essential concepts and ideas, and not only to dispense information.
We should teach more to prepare our students for the test of life and less for a life of tests.
