FACULT If indeed he is wise, he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind? Teachers bid us in, they beckon us onward with a wave of the hand into the world of wise men. Using diagrams, formulas, experiments, analyses, syntheses, maps, graphs, tapes, movies, pictures, lectures, discus- sions, private sessions, and books, they lead us in and out of the world of ideas. In their own approaches to life, they, too, reveal possibilities for living wisely and well. Just as learning is unbounded by time or space, so teaching extends beyond the classroom. You can lie awake at night and worry about a kid. Teaching is no nine-to-five job? In time of doubt and confusion, in time of sorrow or joy, put out a hand and it will be clasped. Bring together two minds, each open, will- ing, and respected, and something happens, some- thing is communicated, the light of knowing ilickers bravely in the dimness. Teachers - older, more experienced, humbler, and wiser than we - in seeking wisdom encourage us to do likewise.
