Once upon a time ...
There was a girl.
And there was this boy who loved her ...
… but it was complicated.

Why would I waste time having
students explain how they solve
problems? My explanations are
always the best ones. Ultimately I
always end up having to go back
and clarify or re-explain
solutions to the class anyway.
I don’t have
that kind of
time to waste.

Know about the ways of learning: the best way to learn anything is
to discover it by yourself.
Try to read the
faces of your
students, try to
see their
expectations &
difficulties, put
yourself in their
place.

Give them not only information, but "know-how," attitudes of mind,
the habit of methodical work.

your whole secret at once - let the students guess
before you tell it - let them find out by themselves as
much as is feasible.

you are the greatest heros of this war
but only when you make
your students greater heros
