My view: (Please briefly describe your view on the three concepts below)

A society founded in logic, universality, and innovation is a safer place for everyone. I teach because I am convinced we could live in a better world if it comprised individuals who were schooled to be and not to become, who were guided and not taught, who were let and not led into their unique talents, who were noticed and not just seen, who were heard and not merely listened to, who produced and did not just consume, who questioned and did not just conform, who acted and did not just react.
