"What goes on in the classroom should always be very central, very crucial to you. There is a base of facts that students need to know, but real wisdom comes from critical thinking and the examined life. The best form of teaching and learning emphasizes the inquisitive mind and a lifetime of examination. It's not so much how many facts are retained - facts change over a period of time - it's an attitude toward learning that is really the most important thing to instill in students."
