“The best way to learn is to teach.”
This is something my father told me whenever I announced that I needed to learn something.

Hmm….I always thought that it was supposed to involve staying up until 3AM cramming with lots of coffee! 🙂 Now I know why I didn’t get an A on my college Linear Algebra test!

I teach that to my students, too. Often, I have them teach the class–including me!

Wise words. I have found that I didn’t know as much as I thought I did whenever I prepared to teach someone else how to do a task.

It’s that the truth. The first time they ask a question is when I realize I didn’t know it as well as I thought.
