I arrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in 21 for 17 years, I had no 22 about my ability to hold their attention and to 23 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 24 !”
The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 25 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 26 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect --- perhaps 27 their admiration.I went back to my office with the rosy glow which comes from a sense of achievement.
My students 28 diaries.However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 29 by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 30 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 31 theme.“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 32 for all the works we will study in class,” I complained.“How 33 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 34 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 35 of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 36 questions and provide enough background so that students could 37 their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 38 information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
