Opis

Teaching is a paradoxical activity, beset by ironies and apparent contradictions. Educated people are autonomous and self-directed, but schooling generally involves expert direction of compliant and dependent students. Empathy, imagination, and creativity characterize fully actualized people, but these qualities seem at odds with mastering received bodies of material.
