Get ready to teach

Schools (and colleges) use a one style fits all approach to education. It’s easier to measure. It sells text books. It sells courses. It supports standardized learning. It requires less imagination and about half of the students involved actually learn from it. Does everybody really need a class geology or music? This is why school is only the beginning of your learning. Now – get ready to teach.

Nobody does everything right. Nobody does everything wrong. Therefore, everybody has something they can teach. Be prepared to adapt your teaching style to your students. You will be rewarded for your efforts. You will also learn something along the way. Let Venus inspire you.
