A big part of teaching involves biting one's tongue, not saying
everything that could be said.
I work mostly with elementary teachers who want to "help" their
students. This piece of advice is so important, and so hard for them
to do. I tell them that when they help by telling too much, they rob
their students of much of the joy of learning.
I'm not sure they
believe me even after they have experienced it themselves.
