as the new year I wrote a student who has made 2001 Abitur, they also referred to what she has learned with me, in particular to the way you approach a problem or questions. I have taught in German and philosophy, and I still remember a philosophical essay, which she once wrote - I forget the topic, but I remember that it is actually my tips has followed and has asked people what they thought to a particular question, and then edited these opinions.
Why did this student (unlike some others) learned something from me? It has full trust (and hopefully not without reflection) embarked on what I've given her a tip of what we have practiced at school. She wanted to learn something, instead of just coming with the marks to make ends meet.
lies in who like to learn a lot of trust, a trust for the teacher, in this case for me as a teacher. Can we Earning trust? How do you have to act or appear to get paid to trust?
It is certainly not without the openness of the teacher, has thanked a former student last year, how exciting it was when the department with regard to the questions of the good life, the obstacles and Support for a successful life has been exceeded. Of course one can dare those crossing the border only if it is not students in the class whose parents are threatening to the lawyer or waiting for an opportunity to get the school head (or the District Government) to complain.
On this subject I could sing a song with many verses. But today I want to sing the praises of the students who have given me confidence - in all of them (and in C. at the top) I want to thank you for it. In Edzard Schaper's Legend of the fourth king, the beggar says to the little King of Russia (the meaning): ". Nothing of what you are doing is lost, we often know not only where it remains" If you occasionally, as I am now on New Year's letter notes that the beggar word could be true, this is a moment of great happiness [but in cases of failure and a shame].
