I don't believe that anyone can teach another person--we can only share ideas and opinions--it is up to each of us to 'teach' ourselves from the information gained for others.

Excellent commentary.  Thank you for your input.  A dictionary or any other reading source, for example, are only containers of information—they are powerless to teach—as it is so with a “teacher”.  However, an interested learner can access or probe the information contained in these devices, and of his or her own will can choose to absorb the available content and then apply it or not.  The act of using or applying knowledge then becomes what many refer to as “wisdom”.

I agree. Recently i read interesting book about brain and here was discribed interesting experiment: one part of pupils studied with teachers who teach them (told themes, answered questions..) and another part studied with teachers too but they only ask questions on the topic. So result was same. It dosen't matter how you will get informatoin, but it is important to ask yourself(and for future - so you will get more links with old information in your brain thats leads to better absorption).
