Making students think
One of the students told me that I made them think today. What an encouragement! I had achieved what I always try to do with my students, making them think and enabling them to draw the right conclusions At least my goal was achieved today with at least some of the students. It is so easy to look for ready made answers instead of thinking through the matter oneself and reason one�s way to a solution. As a teacher I find it more important to help the students to ask the right questions than to give them all the right answers straight away. At least today may day with the students has not been in vain.
