Teaching and learning are reciprocals of each other. Each student has to be treated fairly, but acknowledge adversity. Students need to learn to articulate well because expression is an important part of learning…Learning is a life process and should not be limited to the classroom. It really does take a village to education children and properly cultivate them into contributing members of society. A child does not care how much you know until he/she knows how much you care.”
