Teaching
I find it little bit more than mildly amusing that professors/teachers who teach, say, set and functions, semester after semester, year after year, rarely reflect on what is that they learned today during the course of their lecture. Of course, there’s no dearth of wailing in the faculty rooms on how their students are into all things except that which they (or their minion teaching assistants) recite from an elevated pulpit. There is no denying all this is par for the course, but there’s something that appears to be beyond the reach of brains calcified in ivory towers. Here’s an illustration:
Our ancestors were looking at the same world we are looking at and yet what we see in undeniably different from what they saw. If repeating doesn’t bring about an ever-proper alignment of reason with experience, along with the attendant refinement of our understanding the same ol’ reality, then educators need to attend to their failing grades in educating themselves more than that of their students.
