That sounds interesting. I didn’t know that happens… The middle ground is always good. Theory and application go hand-in hand together. Thanks so much.

I agree with you Renu, that’s true… Applying what one learns causes mastery. Hopefully education will be more encompassing and inclusive of application. Thanks for your post!

Thanks for your post Aakash. I think oftentimes curiosity is triggered by showing real-world applications, things that are beneficial to mankind, and the cool parts of an area… All this is pivotal while engaging the students in what’s going on in class.. and grabbing their attention. Shall that be done, students will be interesting to accomplish certain things through the subject matter.

Interesting Aakash! Good to know. Thanks for the insightful comment! I appreciate it.

Thank you for the great post! I think it is awesome that you mentioned that we must have known Freire from whiles back. This is true, all his advice has really essentially shaped all the good pedagogy in the world presently. And I really enjoyed your comment about teachers needing to look at students as responsible individuals, rather than folks who will fail without them. I think most good teachers have this down… But some more need to pick it up! Thanks for the post.

Thank you Karen! That’s a very good point. Students and professors, alike need to be passionate about material. That definitely is make or break in many senses. In addition, I conquer with the fact that professors increase a preset interest in an area, through their teaching… And that’s why 100% of all students can’t love any given class. Thanks so much!

Thank you for your comment Cody. I appreciate it. You made me think quite a bit after reading your post… I think we have similar perspectives in a sense… The professor needs to kind of display what the material does for you, and then it all works out… So in a sense, if the material isn’t interesting, then that won’t cause interest to grow. However, at the same time, if the material is abstract…. some ground may need to be laid out for people to know the applications, and imagine it better… I think. But yes, I agree, if the material isn’t interesting to one, then pursuing it greatly just won’t happen regardless to how amazing the professor is.

Thanks for your response, AbdelRahman! That is true… Advisers have to strike the balance between advising and also giving their students freedom… Although I think the freedom is the road to experience. Without an accelerated pace of failures, students won’t learn at a higher level. It’s our biggest failures that make our greatest successes. I think.

About the Noble Prize— Thanks for bring me back to reality! ?

Thanks for your post! It turns out that the most diverse places aren’t always the most places that are melting pot per say. However, it would really be nice if the barriers and differences among people are torn down, and that people begin to focus on their similarities. As you mentioned, this will open golden opportunities.

This is a great post, thank you very much for it! The video is really powerful… Showing how much there is still profiling against people due to their religion. However, people tend to fear what they don’t know. And the more they learn, and get enlightened, the more the fear disappears… And also the more the inclusion appears. Thanks so much for such a wonderful post!
