The Student’s Prayer


Don’t impose on me what you know, I want to explore the unknown
and be the source of my own discoveries.
Let the known be my liberation, not my slavery.
The world of your truth can be my limitation;
your wisdom my negation.
Don’t instruct me; let’s walk together.
Let my richness begin where yours ends.
Show me so that I can stand on your shoulders.
Reveal yourself so that I can be something different.
You believe that every human being can love and create.
I understand, then, your fears when
I ask you to live according to your wisdom.
You will not know who I am by listening to yourself.
Don’t instruct me; let me be.
Your failure is that I be identical to you.”

Intelligence

"Never do anything to your students you would not want done to you.

Never do anything for your students they can do for themselves.

Empower your students to do the things they think they cannot do."
