It raises a few smiles because of its wit, but also serves to remind us that teaching is a complex human, relational profession in which emotional connections are made and where teachers don't simply present information.

Photo from Pixnio One of the most important lessons I learnt right at the start of my career in education was that teaching was not about 'telling' but about communication. There was a constant exchange of thoughts and ideas around the content, rather than a one way stream of information. How arrogant that must have seemed.

If we take a formal education course learning will be different to our informal autodidactic efforts. How often have you discovered something new and thought - well.
