rosa lisa- re: our fren johnny i had an epiphany this week. i sent out steve martin's letter to johnny to several people i thought would enjoy it. (i only spam my friends about once a year and i try to be selective)<g> one of them was our NNBMer "raven" whom we never hear from anymore, but i still have her email address. she wrote a long reply updating me on her life and family (things are great) and she said in passing at the end: "stay well, my friend; forward me anything that you feel worthwhile. it is always so good to hear from you. we go to monterrey tomorrow to visit family.... haven't been in months, and i need to re=energize. why does it always seem that life slows down once the "river" is crossed??" that was the trigger... a simple question. socrates was was right...! To teach is to learn. This is very important and is the reason why so many teach. In many cases students shed new light on a subject with their questions, asking something from a different angle than was ever expected. This results in new answers or creative thought and expands everyone's knowledge of the subject. As the teacher and the student interact and teach and learn with a back and forth rhythm, more is discovered about the whole process, and the student is drawn out into an interactive form of learning that is more healthy and exciting than any boring, dry, dull lecture can be. They are a part of what they are learning and in their own way they are teaching. To teach is to learn. That is the lesson, part of the continual paradox that we find particularly with the Socratic Method. To find the answers we must ask questions, and those very questions are perhaps one of the most important tools of teaching. ct.essortment.com i should write about my epiphany that was sparked by her question... but i won't... i'll just restate the question... "why does it always seem that life slows down once the 'river' is crossed??" maybe you or someone else will have an epiphany of yer own. <g> -el soccer tease
