Summary

This quote suggests that a teacher's primary responsibility is to foster an environment in which students can develop their own ideas and think critically, rather than simply delivering information to them. It emphasizes the importance of encouraging students to be curious, creative, and innovative learners by providing them with the necessary tools and guidance. Instead of spoon-feeding knowledge, the teacher's role becomes that of a facilitator who empowers students to explore, question, and discover knowledge for themselves, ultimately fostering a love for learning and independent thinking.
