I think one of the most tragic things to witness as a teacher is to see a student spend several years in school, only to “scratch” the surface of his or her potential.

Every year, millions of students are graduating with a diplomas, but not receiving an education. It’s also been reported in numerous studies that the average student only reads one book after college over the span of a lifetime. This is truly tragic.

One of the best things you can do for students is to turn them on to learning (as early as possible). In fact, you can’t afford to miss an opportunity to let your students know that learning is a lifelong process that should only stop when they do.
