We should put this quote on t-shirts:
“Sadly, we are a generation who was taught how to be taught — not how to teach ourselves.”

I’ve claimed my own frustration at teachers who ask, “But who’s going to teach me how to do that?†Sadly, we are a generation who was taught how to be taught — not how to teach ourselves. It’s one of the many reasons why the experiences that our children have in the classroom must become much more self-directed, relevant, and rich. They/we need to learn to teach ourselves. Teachers shouldn’t need professional development. They should be saying, hey, I’m going to teach myself how to do that this weekend. It’s about life long learning. Not about a life of being taught.
