Creating healthy tension for students

I do not think that as a teacher, your job is to give answers to the students.

It’s almost arrogant to think that you know all the answers. It’s arrogant to think that your student wants the answer that you have.

Create discomfort within students. Don’t give them answers. Make them work for it.

Ask them the right questions.

Point them in the right direction.

Maintain healthy tension. Make them anxious whenever necessary.

Don’t make them more knowledgeable. Make them wiser.
