To me, to think like a teacher is not just to know the answer to something but to be able to recite the answer in a way that others would gather more than just the basic answer. Sure, someone could tell you that when you factor (x + 3)(x – 9) it equals x2 – 6x – 27, but how did one get the answer and how can one explain simply enough for the average person to understand. As to start thinking like a teacher, one has to go behind the scenes of almost everything that one learns from here on out. No longer can we just accept what is, we have to find out as much as possible to better understand it, to help others understand and learn and grow. I like to think that I think like a teacher most of the times, but sometimes I I’m content just knowing the answer and just leaving it at that.
Is there a way to make people want to know more than just the bare minimum? What are some ways to spark their curiosity? What is making everyone so lazy?
