I just finished reading a number of articles about teaching... One quotation in particular jumped out at me, and that was "There's a lot of data out there. A teacher will help the students sort out the information from the data. A good teacher will help the students find the knowledge in the information. An excellent teacher will help the students find the wisdom in the knowledge." Have any of your teachers been like that? And I agree with Vixen and MMario, that children are excellent teachers. They ask the most innocent, but sometimes the most difficult to answer questions. Let's hope we don't discourage them from continuing to ask those questions..
