Iarrived in the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with 75 students who would be my English Literature class.Having taught in 26 for 17 years, I had no 27 about myability to hold their attention and to 28 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, “ 29 !”

My students 33 diaries.However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 34 by a strong sense of sadness.The first diary said, “Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 35 her next lecture will be better.” Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 36 theme.“Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 37 for all the works we will study in class,” I complained.“How 38 they say I didn’t teach them anything?”
It was a long term, and it 39 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as 40 of my students.I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 41 questions and provide enough background so that students could 42 their own conclusions.My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide 43 information as directly and clearly as possible.What a difference!
