The Power Of Teaching

• “If a child doesn’t know how to read, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to swim, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to multiply, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to drive, we teach.”• “If a child doesn’t know how to behave, we … … teach?

…punish?”

Why can’t we finish the last sentence as automatically as we do the others?
