A teacher should not tell a student WHAT to think, they should teach a student HOW to think. Take a look at the message this picture conveys:
The teacher thinks inside the blank box, as do the students in the front two rows whom she has influenced. The teacher is trimming the student in the third row's critical thinking abilities into a square. But the child in the last row remains an untouched circle.
Learning is not about conforming. Learning is about exploring the multiple possibilities while thinking for yourself. All children deserve to have this right!!
