ARE WE ALL TEACHERS?
Vernon Howard's
SECRETS OF LIFE (R)
**********************************************************************
Here is the formula for inner success: Right teacher plus right
student. A right teacher is one who really knows what he is talking
about. A right student is one whose preliminary work enables him to
recognize a right teacher as right. When they meet a healthy atmos-
phere develops, just as a match and a candle meet to create light.
700 Inspiring Guides To A New Life, # 197
I do not know what is happening to all of us.
This phenomenon is going on in almost all Social Media.I guess is a natural process.We all need to grown convince that we need to reach maturity.
The problem is that we all want to be teachers and only the one that teach others.We are reluctant to wear the hat of a student.The results...only a few humble individuals develop new skills...because their humility allow them to learn from others.How you ever have had an interlocutor that do not show any respect for your opinion...simply because they are only interested to let you know their opinion-which by the way always are the correct ones-what they do is interrupt you one time and time again.
If you notice what is happening at twitter...yes.People are downloading software to sent a tewts in a blast to dozens even thousands of "Followers" with a total disregard of a real interaction and friendship.
Here in our community,which are the hot topics? Which is hot is when someone ask for guidance or someone show interested in find another opportunity...and the groups that allow people to share their opportunity ! Nobody is trying to learn we all want to be only teachers.
What about the real skillful people.Yes.You are right...they just either pitch you or throw you a bone in order to open the opportunity to sell their meet to you afterward...a rotten meet that it been regurgitated over and over again.They are selling us the same meal with different smell in different plate...in top of that their leader-the man that resemble a hippy-is teaching them to charge for their broken record info product a very high price-oh yes in comfortable payments-in order for them to sell more than the competitors.
Things must change and faster the better.

P.S. I have not check yet the info product from Mike Dillard which I have gotten it few days ago.I needed to hide it for several days in order to avoid a two days confrontation with my wife...SHE IS TIRED OF ME BUYING INFO PRODUCTS.

Big subject
Good post, but it's a huge subject to cover that requires many more points of focus and reason, and even though your post is short on the matter you've done a great job and picked a great subject.
There are lots of issues in the current social driven and professional drivin educational systems
1. The professional (School, training, free mentors [dad/mom/others] etc) side of it just plain sucks
2. The social side of it just plain sucks because the education isn't teaching the society effectively
3. The professional side of it is more expensive than what must of society can afford
4. The social side of it causes people to worry about money more than failing to learn
5. The professional side of it is only short term/temporarry (semesters/years/weeks/hours) based on pay
6. The social side of it is only comitted to themselves and not to everyone all around them
7. The professional side of it up until highschool graduation is nothing but strict crowd control
8. The social side of it doesn't realize the best way to learn is to teach
9. The professional side of it doesn't realize the best way to teach is to teach them to teach the subject
10. The social side of it wants to be -sold- THE way to do something. That's why there is no one weight loss program.
And the list goes on and on and on.
With that last one a lot of it comes from the lack of desire to learn and be proactive themselves so they expect to be convinced of what the best way to do something is. Either by word of mouth or commercials, sales pitches, etc. And when they start doing it, they don't learn anything about it, they just do it and fallow the rules just like drivers ed rather than drive around where-ever/however they want.
It's for this reason nobody does the same thing to achieve the same result. The goal might be to lose weight and they will do 10,000 different diets, others will look for ways to stay fit through physical exercise and nobody will do the same activity and more. Granted there is definite personal variations on various levels but when it comes to doing what is best suited for themselves they often don't know, they don't care to learn, they just want to be told, and then they do it hoping it works. Same thing with making money, sex, food, friends, cars, etc
When it comes to failure to learn through teaching all through schools that don't live up to adiquate standards, the students are herded around like cattle expected to learn what's irrelivent to their interests by having them sit in a seat for an hour. There is no one on one or group interactions, there are no individual comittments and empowerment to the lesson, there is nothing applicable in any way shape or form. As the student who willingly spends our time in those settings, and as a teacher teaching in those settings, we're not just wasting other people's time, we're wasting our time. And when they come home having learned nothing, they plop down in front of TV and videogames just to releve the 'stress' of sitting in a plastic chair all day.
On many levels due to this upbringing we continue this habitual form of education.
If you were to teach a game of Musical Chairs in a class, there is no way to teach a group by handing out text books with diagrams, writing down the points and rules to the game and how it works and test them on it. You have to physically push all the tables out of the way, have everyone put the chairs in a circle and physically play the game. And if it's a game that reqires more work, having each of the students play the role of the leader is the best way to empower them and teach them by letting them be the teacher.
To learn we have to be the teacher, and to teach we have to let others do the teaching.
The most often forgotten one is behavior management. When training animals now days not only is it inefficient to use netative reinforcement (punishment), but it's also illegal if it's extreme. Yet I've seen animals do complicated tasks and they don't know english, they can't be told what to do, and certainly can't be forced to do it. But in schools and teaching situations we still use such negative reinforcement, it's almost a wonder why the teacher doesn't beat the child with the yard stick anymore, instead we resort to restraining children on the floor and calling the cops to drag them out and arrest them (Happend to me on 4 occasions).
As the teacher (who empowers the learnee by letting them teach) we must practice positive reinforcement (reward based) principals to create a positive reason to learn something rather than a negative reason to NOT do something. (Learn this to become filthy rich, vs Learn this or you'll be filthy and poor)
