Toxic Value 3

Teachers teach; students are taught
Teachers know; students don’t
Student learn; teachers don’t have to

  • Authority and paternalistic education
  • Who can be a teacher?
  • What is the relationship between teachers and students? the ethical and intellectual contract?
  • What can you learn from your students?
  • Creating rigid divisions between teachers and students encourages stale/static learning environments that treat teachers as all-knowing Authorities and students as passive and ignorant
  • Teachers must learn, must do, must challenge themselves to live the values they teach
