V ALID KNOWLEDGE HAS BEEN IMPORTANT MATTER to me. As a result, my teenagers education and how well rather than how much they learn has been a concern. There is a difference between 'how well' and 'how much.' The former is 'Quality Knowledge' which creates success. The later is 'Bulk Knowledge' which does not make better a person's life.
During my high school, I had a Science Teacher known by the nickname 'Mr. Why.' This man mastered a principle I have never seen so proficiently implemented by any another teacher. His concept was that if a teacher has intelligent students, and students fail to learn, it is revealing that the teacher fails at passing knowledge on to them.
Mr. Why knew that teachers can place students on a path to become winners of the future. It is why Mr. Why's classes were far from a boring monolog. Instead, they were grabbing and exciting as he disclosed ~with events in daily life~ how Mother Nature's Laws of Physics are present in every second of our lives. Truly, we were so excited!
This teacher's nickname was because of his most famous question. Should a student enunciate a Law of Physics, he can be anticipated to ask "Why?" For Mr. Why, it was not enough that his students memorize laws. He wanted his students to comprehend the principles behind Mother Nature's Laws of Physics.
Moreover, he demanded for us to acquire knowledge in class rather than studying at home. Therefore, Mr. Why ensured himself that his students left each class comprehending what he taught that day, and that we will not forget the newly acquired knowledge. We all were looking forward to his next enjoyable class.
Mr. Why was proud that ~in his long career~ not one of his students failed Science.
it is of utter importance for parents not to take the path of
least resistance and become responsible. it is because they
are their teanagers' only asset and only way to succeed.
parents must pay attention to identify the spark that
socrates has been telling us about for 2,400 years.
