Parker J. Palmer Quotes About Students

• The academic bias against subjectivity not only forces our students to write poorly ("It is believed...," instead of, "I believe..."), it deforms their thinking about themselves and their world. In a single stroke, we delude our students into believing that bad prose turns opinions into facts and we alienate them from their own inner lives.

• La enseñanza, como cualquier actividad verdaderamente humana, surge de la propia interioridad, para bien o para mal. Cuando enseño, proyecto la condición de mi alma sobre mis alumnos, mi asignatura y nuestra forma de estar juntos. Los enredos que experimento en el aula a menudo no son ni más ni menos que las circunvoluciones de mi vida interior. Desde este punto de vista, la enseñanza es un espejo del alma. Si estoy dispuesto a mirarme en ese espejo y no huir de lo que veo, tengo la oportunidad de conocerme a mí mismo, y conocerme a mí mismo es tan crucial para enseñar bien como conocer a mis alumnos y mi asignatura.

• I now understand what Nelle Morton meant when she said that one of the great tasks in our time is to "hear people to speech." Behind their fearful silence, our students want to find their voices, speak their voices, have their voices heard. A good teacher is one who can listen to those voices even before they are spoken-so that someday they can speak with truth and confidence.

  Teaching, May, Who We Are

• Every good teacher and every good parent has somehow learned to negotiate the paradox of freedom and discipline. We want our children and our students to become people who think and live freely, yet at the same time we know that helping them become free requires us to restrict their freedom in certain situations.

• Students want to know, "Are you painting by the numbers, or are you really present as a human being to what you are doing; and is it coming from inside of you?" So I would ask teachers this question: "Do you have a wellgrounded personal experience and conviction concerning whatever it is you are trying to teach?"

• La gente siempre se pregunta: "¿Es esta persona que tengo delante lo mismo por dentro que lo que parece por fuera? ¿Hay congruencia entre lo que hay dentro de esa persona y las palabras y acciones que estoy viendo y oyendo externamente?". Los niños se lo preguntan a sus padres; los estudiantes, a sus profesores; los feligreses, a sus pastores y sacerdotes; los empleados, a sus jefes; y, en democracia, los ciudadanos, a sus líderes políticos.
