5/29/97    What Teaching Is         Rodney C. Walmer


What is teaching 
but the ability to inspire others to seek knowledge
It’s not just reaching 
out to those who aspire to attend college
Instruction involves inspiration 
not just to one, but to everyone
What may come naturally to some
is not so easy for others
Charlie is great at
Deduction and reasoning 
But, his brother cannot relate
They learn differently at any rate

Some claim we use two separate 
parts of the brain
But, then no two people learn the same
In education, 
Inspiration and self-confidence 
are the key
Create one, and build the other
and in the end the learners
will see
 they can succeed
 succeed in your name 
while playing the game. . .
