“…openness is the sole means by which education is effected. If a teacher is not sharing what he or she knows, there is no education happening.
In fact, those educators who share the most thoroughly of themselves with the greatest proportion of their students are the ones we deem successful. Does every single student come out of a class in possession of the knowledge and skills the teacher tried to share? In other words, is the teacher a successful sharer? If so, then the teacher is a successful educator. If attempts at sharing fail, then the teacher is a poor educator.
Education is sharing.
Education is about being open.”
