Students are in school to learn, we cannot expect them to know everything. We must help encourage students to ask questions. A teacher of mine always told me "a good student isn't someone who's quiet, it's someone who asks questions." From that moment on, I grew confidence to ask questions every singe time and in return I felt like I was learning more than ever. This is a principle I would emphasize in my classroom.

However one thing he repeatedly emphasizes is: good action, good reaction, bad action, bad reaction. Therefore he prefers to entrust that his students will behave, he thinks by giving them this privilege, they will behave. I picked this comment because I thought how a successful teacher like my English teacher could find success without setting clear rules but this quote made me realize that perhaps he does set rules, just differently.
