"وظیفهی معلم مدرن کوتاه کردن جنگلها نیست بلکه آبیاری بیابانها است"
— C. S. Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
Teachers and educators today should focus on fostering curiosity and a love for learning in students, rather than just getting rid of confusion or problems. Think about a gardener: instead of chopping down a dense, wild jungle, the gardener goes to a dry area and waters it to help plants grow. In the same way, educators should help students who lack knowledge or motivation by providing them with information, inspiration, and support. For example, instead of telling a student who struggles with math that they are wrong, a good teacher might show them different ways to solve problems and make the subject interesting and relevant to their lives. This approach can create a supportive learning environment where students feel encouraged to explore and understand new ideas. To apply this, one might focus on what a student is good at and use that to help them learn other subjects, making education more engaging and effective. By doing so, educators empower students to thrive and become lifelong learners.
