"Learning is like rowing upstream; not to advance is to drop back." — Chinese proverb

http://www.readingrockets.org

Learning is a continuous process just like with any field it requires time and practice. Through the process we will probably get bumps or unfriendly waves along the stream but no matter what we have to keep up to the challenge practice on how to overcome these obstacles instead of drawing back again to the first block and start all over again the process.

"No matter how busy you may think you are, you must find time for reading, or surrender yourself to self-chosen ignorance."     Confucious

(http://www.literacyla.org)

To start of with the discussion would be a possible scenario. It could be a meeting with all of the teaching staff with the principal, then the principal asked a question. You raised your hand first knowing that you have the right answer but the principal told you that your answer was incorrect. Right after that your colleague answered the same question asked by the principal and your shocked that your colleague's answer is correct. Only to know that the difference was your colleague read the newspaper this morning and you didn't because your way to busy finding what to wear in school. As educators we sometimes tend to forget to read and update ourselves about the new trends when it comes to teaching. Maybe some of us still uses the old or traditional way of teaching.The quote from the great Confucious tells us no matter how busy we are, we should find ways to update ourselves through reading or be tagged as a negligent educator who tends to ignore changes.
