Do you teach or do you educate?







To teach or educate is a concept lost by many. It may seem to be a fine line but it's not. To teach is to show someone how to do something but to educate is to inspire someone to learn how to do something and apply it to other areas of their life. To teach is easy, to educate hard. I love this video because it puts that idea into perspective. We are called as teachers to change our students lives and not just teach content. I hope this video reminds you of a tireless teacher in your life who constantly strives to bring out the best in their students and not just meet the objectives.

This post is in honor of Coach Paul Kellogg and in memory of Mrs. Gail Whitten. When I watch this video it is you who come to mind.
