Questions I would ask myself if I were a teacher

1. Do I know how to enter the inner world of a person who is learning and growing up? Would I be able to relate to this world without prejudice, without prejudice, could I personally, emotionally respond to this world?
...
2. Do I know how to allow myself to be a person and build open, emotionally rich, non-role relationships with my students, relationships in which all participants learn? Do I have the courage to share with my students this intensity of our relationship?
...
3. Will I be able to discover the interests of everyone in my class and will I be able to allow him or her to pursue those individual interests wherever they lead?
...
4. Will I be able to help my students to maintain a keen interest, curiosity in relation to themselves, to the world that surrounds them - to preserve and support the most precious thing that a person has?
...
5. Am I a sufficiently creative person myself, who can bring children into contact with people and their inner world, with books, all kinds of sources of knowledge - with something that really stimulates curiosity and maintains interest?
...
6. Would I be able to accept and support the emerging and at the first moment imperfect ideas and creative ideas of my students, these messengers of future creative forms of learning and activity? Would I be able to accept those creative children who so often look anxious and do not meet accepted standards of behavior?
...
7. Could I help my child grow up as a whole person, whose feelings give rise to ideas, and ideas - feelings?
...
If I could perform a miracle and answer “yes” to these questions, then I would decide - to become not the one who teaches, but the one who contributes to the genuine assimilation of new things, helps the child realize the potential of his individual capabilities.
