A quote I hadn't seen before.

I got chills as I read this quote.


"I am not a teacher---only a fellow traveler of whom you asked the way. I pointed ahead---ahead of myself as well as of you."

--G.B. Shaw


Most teachers are scared to point students to materials, or ways of thinking, that they don't completely understand. But stretching to gain new understanding is one of the ways we continue to learn and grow, and people, even teachers, need to continue to learn and grow.
