This is nonsense. A good teacher is never without students
-
Morning, not quite sure what you mean?
-
Good teachers NEVER become obsolete
-
I agree, but I didn’t think the article was saying that, or taking in such extreme terms, the story was exploring the idea that good teachers give you the skills or ability to move on, which we often do from teachers, even give something back to them.
-
I agree with all you say. It's that last sentence I stick on. I object to the word obsolete. Maybe because I'm facing my 75th this summer & trying to figure out how I will live the next chapter of my life. I don't like the idea of becoming obsolete, will fight it with all I have
-
You are right, the word obsolete is odd here, just because someone has taught us what we need, it is not that they become obsolete, quite the opposite they take on a new significance for letting us fly ( excuse corny lan)
-
Exactly. By giving our student the tools to fly, a part of us always lives on in them. On a more corporal level, I am now teaching the children of students I had 20 years ago
-
That is a perfect way to put it, and true, I am in Italy and writing because of one particular teacher, not my favorite but one who had a profound effect on me.

Beautiful, I had a teacher like that, but he inspired me once again, when I encountered him again years later.
