Teaching should be about exploration, implementation and reflection. It is when these aspects blend together that we, the teachers, have the opportunity to experience real progression. Let us not forget why we are here and what the purpose of teaching actually is: to train a generation of children to become mature, level-headed individuals, professionals who will eventually lead our companies, run our country and, most significantly, teach our children and take care of us when we grow older. Students can lose sight with education and quickly forget the point of it all. If we do not remind them then we have failed them. Should we not stimulate students into becoming critical learners, who are confident and independent – engaged learner, who can gain a sense of ownership of the taught knowledge and understand that the skills they learn in school matter? If we can achieve that, then we have succeeded.
