There are many things that are different between students and teachers, Students tend to be the learners while the teachers teach. In the narrative the author states how sometimes we all learn different things but learn in different ways. One this that caught my attention was the way the reading was described it made me think a different way to see the difference of teachers and students, us students learn many different things each day in school we have scheduled to show us the classes we take after a while its like our mind gets used to the things we do we know exactly what things we going to learn next and when something changed our minds just get confused all over again and we tend to get used to the new things we are doing. To me i believe the purpose of education is to learn more and develop ideas and facts of what’s around us to better understand the things that are happening. Education shows us a better way to communicate and try and teach others.

Joselin,
Your observation that “after a while its like our mind gets used to the things we do we know exactly what things we going to learn next and when something changed our minds just get confused all over again” is really fascinating!
Your specific phrase “our minds just get confused all over again” is really interesting when we think about it in relationship to Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave.” We think of being confused (or, in the case of Plato’s prisoner, in pain or blinded) as a bad thing. But what if THAT’s what learning feels like? The idea of considering a different point of view or even (gasp!) changing your mind…
I enjoyed reading your reflection– you really seemed to get the exact point of Plato’s allegory.
