Now that the fall semester has ended, I have some much needed reflective time. I’d like to share a powerful and kind student note I received in my 101 class, from a primarily Spanish speaking student. I’ll translate it for you:
“Dear Professor,
To educate a person is not to make him learn something that he doesn’t know, but to make of me something that didn’t exist.
Thank you very much!
The best teacher is not the one who knows the most, but the one who knows the best
Sincerely,
Your Student 2023
(I’ve withheld her name for privacy)
This one I’m framing, very meaningful.
