On Education
There must be passion for your subject matter, for it is only when you have passion that students will conclude that if what you are teaching is that interesting and important to you, it may just give them permission to conclude that it may be important to know. Not everything that is important to know is interesting to learn, so without your passion and creativity in the classroom, without your love of knowledge, without your love for imparting knowledge, without your willingness to open up an honest dialogue, without your willingness to challenge and be challenged, a student’s drive to learn can constrict. I teach, therefore I am.
