YAY BPC!

Check this out!

I have worked for him over the last 2.5 years (and the dude quoted in the article was my teacher 4 years ago), and most of what I had learned about teaching, education, and the construction of knowledge in our society (prior to being in the SOE) was from him. He's pretty neat: check out his personal website.

BPC (maybe controversial in his words, my own paraphrase): "Teachers should not be clients of the student. Teachers are in the relationship building business."

Tough stuff

I'm curious to hear thoughts on this: what do you do when a student is going through some tough times that you yourself have gone through? How do we support them without crossing lines?
