I discovered a long time ago that you can't make anyone learn something. Did you ever try to make a baby eat or a toddler learn how to use the potty? Well, that is actually the way it is all the time. So I have become a facilitator. I provide opportunities to learn through environment and the aura I bring to the encounter, but so much is in the learners' court. It is all part of the locus of control. We teachers are loathe to give up the illusion that we are in control. But in reality we control very little. Go forth and learn, bold ones.
