The role of the educator is one of tranquil possession of certitude in regard to the teaching of not only contents but also of 'correct thinking.'

Learning is a process where knowledge is presented to us, then shaped through understanding, discussion and reflection.

No one is born fully-formed: it is through self-experience in the world that we become what we are.
