EGO & The Educator

______________________________________________________________________________________

If the biggest ego in the classroom does not belong to the teacher
then the classroom needs only one thing: a circus tent.

When the biggest ego belongs to a student, mincemeat will be made
of the teacher's pride. But, at least, the teacher will have
something to eat.

More often than not, the student with the uncurbed elephantine ego 
is empowered by a Daddy lawyer and/or a Mommy Doctor capable
of crawling out of the woodwork at any given moment.

But when the teacher's ego is dominant, it does not need flashing lights.
It needs to be accompanied by a human heart, an articulate intimacy
with whatever subject is being taught, and the ability to understand
what other people do not know.
