Teaching is Inspiring, Motivating, and Inducing



"Teaching is inspiring a student rather than filling him with facts. It is responding to him rather than demanding of him. It is motivating him to explore on his own rather than controlling his explorations. It is inducing him to think, rather than repeating others' thoughts. Teaching is leading others to be like you --- and more. It is finding lessons in everything you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch, and bringing them together to give deeper meaning and fulfillment to life."

What is Teaching?

"Teaching as a part of child training is not simply a matter of giving instructions to be either accepted or rejected.  Teaching provides the explanation for rules for which the child then becomes accountable.  As with any teaching that is designed to reach the objective of inculcation, the child must be required to demonstrate that he has learned the desired lesson; in other words, he must pass the test."
