Summary

This quote emphasizes that the goal of a teacher should not be to impose their own beliefs and opinions on students, but rather to ignite their curiosity and inspire critical thinking. The primary objective of teaching is to stimulate and foster intellectual growth, helping students develop their own perspectives and ideas. Instead of merely passing on knowledge, a teacher should aim to create an environment that encourages questioning, exploration, and the cultivation of independent thoughts among students. By nurturing open-mindedness and intellectual curiosity, teachers can empower students to become active learners and thinkers in their own right.
