I suppose the โ€œwhyโ€ is important for not only students but for everybody in general. Thatโ€™s the only way forward! Good piece Minaz. Your students are lucky to have you :)

Being in education, I have been on the other side (passing information and being critical) at the start of my career as an academician in architecture. In short made students life a hell. Time made me realise its perils and soon changed everything; roads, gears and tools... Found joy myself and so were the students more responsive.

I just wish this message reaches more people involved in the teaching - learning process.

We all evolve with time. Other teachers will learn if we embody it. Joy is contagious.

What a lovely looking bunch of students you have there Minaz. I think having a teacher like you would bring a smile to anyoneโ€™s face, together with the will to learn.
