"When a student perceives a teacher to be an authentic, warm and curious person, the student learns.
When the student does not perceive the teacher as such a person the student does not learn! There is
almost no way to get around this fact, although technological people such as ourselves try very hard to.
We believe in experts and expertise, and we tend not to trust any activity that does not involve a
complex technique. And yet, increasing the complexity of the act of teaching has not really made much
difference for there is always that simple fact that teaching is the art of being human and
communicating that humanness to others." - Neal Postman
