"It is quite customary for teachers rather consciously to put on the mask, the role, the facade, of being a teacher, and to wear this facade all day, removing it only when they have left school at night"
                                                                                                                      -Carl Rogers
 
I found this quote interesting because as a future teacher I think its important that we realize that our job is more than just giving our students work to do. Our job is to get to know our students and create a community within our classroom where they feel free to express their ideas and feelings about the world around them. The article entitled Hearts and Minds by Steven Wolk gives great examples on how to do this.
