This is one for the passionate teachers out there, and the people who want to know that there are talented and smart people working on the problem of demotivated English language learners in this country, and that progress is being made little by little.

More than any other teacher I know, he creates an opportunity for students to learn something that they can’t unlearn, a new way of seeing the world that gives them resources they didn’t have before. I would call that the essence of true learning, but as teachers we so often give in to the pressure of teaching in a standard style. This is a must listen for teachers who are inspired to help their students to really benefit from their education.

It’s a really interesting conversation and although I know that I am monogamous, I also know a lot of people who have felt a lack of freedom in traditional relationships. As we talk about in this podcast, what matters is treating the people in our lives with trust, respect and kindness.
