There are never-ending battles to be fought in teaching, and often the enemy is misidentified as an uncooperative colleague, a shortage of materials, a bad schedule, a dreadful textbook, an exam-driven curriculum. They are merely foot soldiers. In education, the enemy is Ignorance. Sometimes even the best of us inadvertently join its ranks, and its winning strategy is the very fact that we don’t know it. Ignorance casts shadows. It is knowledge and wisdom that brings light.
