Educator...

I am not an educator.
But would like to give some advice to teachers.
Teaching should encourage active learning, not passive.
You tend to make children passive learners by constant spoon feeding.
Constructive knowledge should be built in the minds of the children.
Children should be able to constantly reconstruct their knowledge with new information.
And yes, active learning means involving them in situations where they can use their prior knowledge.
The learning child should keep asking why for everything and never rest till he gets his reply.
