Dear Teachers

you must encourage classroom discussion and challenge. It’s the only way to put the student minds in action. In your classroom when a new concept is introduced there is no telling how many different understandings and interpretations one may have. When you allow open classroom discussion and challenge you allow the students to find the way from what they knew to what they’re learning. A good discussion brings out various points of views and the reasons behind those views. A good discussion also lets each participant analyze and judge for themselves without forcing views or opinions on others. From your mouth I have heard the saying that minds can be like parachutes, only operating best when they are open.

Sincerely whatever your name is
