"They can because they think they can"
~Virgil

It isn't fitting that the Muses' man and messenger should jealously preserve his wisdom. He must spend his time three ways: Learning, teaching, composing -after all, what good is knowledge if just one man knows?
~Theognis


"Non scholae, sed vitae discimus" ("We learn not for school, but for life")
~Adapted from Seneca

"The teacher must decide how to deal with his pupil. Some boys are lazy, unless forced to work; others do not like being controlled; some will respond to fear but others are paralysed by it. Give me a boy who is encouraged by praise, delighted by success and ready to weep over failure. Such a boy must be encouraged by appeals to his ambitions."
Quintilian, a teacher in the 1st Century AD.



"The test of the morality of a society is what it does for its children."
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer

The young man was at the end of his training, soon he would go on to be a teacher. Like all good pupils he needed to challenge his teacher and to develop his own way of thinking. He caught a bird, placed it in one hand and went to see his teacher.
“Teacher, is this bird alive or dead?” His plan was the following: if his teacher said ‘dead’, he would open his hand and the bird would fly away. If the answer was ‘alive’, he would crush the bird between his fingers; that way the teacher would be wrong whichever answer he gave.
“Teacher, is this bird alive or dead?” he asked again.
“My dear student, that depends on you,” was the teacher’s reply

by Paulo Coelho, published in Crete Today, June 2009
