Question:
I’ve observed, among other things, teachers who limit themselves solely to teaching their class, talk very little with their students, and don’t offer a smile, a "it's okay, let’s share," but just focus solely on their teaching hour. I wanted to gather information on this type of teacher.
Answer:
They should ask themselves what they are educating for. I believe everyone should ask this question: what is the purpose of education? Because if they think education is just about learning the rules of a sport, understanding mathematical processes, mastering integrals, or knowing any subject, that’s fine, it’s important, it’s necessary, but it’s not enough. However, if a teacher thinks education is about developing cognitive, moral, intellectual, emotional, etc., aspects of a person, it’s about the holistic development of that individual. Teachers often forget the ultimate purpose of education. That’s why I insist—one should really reconsider: what am I educating for?
