Teaching

"You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives."
Clay P. Bedford
"Education is not the filling of a bucket, but the lighting of a fire."
W.B.Yeats

  1. That´s very true. And the more you learn the greater gets curiosity. Sometimes it will even get so great, that one overcomes his fears, beacause he likes to learn something new..

  2. Children are curious from the beginning and all their tiny questions are charming and delightful. But there is a moment when young people´s questions are annoying or disrupting the ease of the grown-ups.
    “Don´t pose this silly question.”
    “I told you twice.”
    “Why didn´t you get it?”
    “Read the manual…”
    And so on.

    In school children should receive best marks for posing a question.
