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
