Quote by Vera F. Birkenbihl on Learning and Teaching

„Learning is like a garden. If I try to force someone to grow a flower, I will fail. But if I create the conditions in which it can grow on its own, then I have a chance of something wonderful emerging. It is the same with us human beings. We cannot force knowledge into another person. We can only give them the opportunity to discover it for themselves. Because what I discover for myself, I truly understand. And what I truly understand, I can retain and apply in my life. That is why I believe: A teacher’s task is not to impart knowledge, but to inspire enthusiasm and open doors.“

Sokrates
