my thinking....

I believe that the best way anybody learns something is by doing it, preferably with some kind of cognitive struggle, by reflecting on trials and errors, by recognizing those errors, analyzing them, and making necessary adjustments. If children don't do it themselves, learn it themselves, experience it themselves, struggle with it themselves, then it isn't something that's part of them and it won't stick. Therefore, I consider myself the arranger of the environment, the establisher of direction, the facilitator of discussion, the manager of collaborations, the chooser of choices and most importantly, the asker of critical questions.
