I forgot to document this really important morning meeting last week. It was based on a quote:
“As a public school teacher, I teach the lesson of dependency. Good people wait for a teacher to tell them what to do. This is the most important lesson of all: that we must wait for other people better trained than ourselves to make the meaning of our lives… We’ve built a way of life that depends on people doing what they are told because they do not know any other way”.
I saw this quote before (last year in Freshman Experience), and I admit that it was life changing, besides, I saw this same quote with brand new eyes. I love that, going back to what I once learned and just observe it with brand new eyes, a brand new knowledge that hasn't been applied before to that.
On this, I will admit, I had an amazing experience sharing with my peers a moment in conversation, in which we read the quote, and took the wheel of the road of our learning process.
And that is what the whole quote (which is pure irony), is all about. Independent learning.
