Riding my bike, I came to some thoughts I wish to share with you. This should be available to everyone.

 

Our purpose as teachers or administrators is to educate our students to understand themselves, other people, and the world. We are to guide our students and colleagues to think clearly, rationally, and independently.

 

Students must understand this purpose. We must keep these goals foremost in our minds.

 

We must be honest and modest in our thinking, open to criticism, accept our errors, and eager to increase our understanding.

 

We must listen to our students, be fully aware of their feelings, respond to their questions, and probe their misunderstandings thereby clarifying issues.
