Quote by Jacques Barzun

The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach a subject, one teaches a student how to learn it.

The truth is, when all is said and done, one does not teach

Summary

This quote implies that the role of a teacher is not simply to impart knowledge of a subject but rather to teach students how to learn and approach learning itself. It suggests that true education goes beyond the transfer of information, but rather focuses on equipping students with the skills, curiosity, critical thinking abilities, and self-motivation necessary to become lifelong learners. Ultimately, this quote highlights the importance of developing students' abilities to independently seek knowledge and comprehend new subjects, as opposed to solely relying on a teacher to provide them with all the answers.
