If you don’t something: you can
either admit it or lay low until you know enough to brag about it, never say
that you know things without really doing so, because we are surrounded by
people who like to terrorize us, make us feel insignificant and not important,
especially as teachers, students continuously trying to outsmart their
teachers, coordinators trying to make you feel that whatever you know as a
teacher is so little, and parents who like to put you down and tell you that
you don’t always know what’s best for their children. You are knowledgeable,
after all; if you aren’t you wouldn’t have made it as a teacher. Don’t ever let
anybody tell you that what you know is not enough. There are always going to be
people who know more than you, but this is why god gave us brains: to learn
from others, to continuously improve ourselves with every situation we go
through. And remember that you can’t know everything about everything, stick to
what you know best and make it what you know most.
We might not know as much as other experienced people but at least we KNOW. I loved your advice about "Never letting anyone tell you that you don't know!" People like to act smarter. They teach their kids to feel grateful and proud whenever they provide better information. This competitive spirit became a cultural trend in our society and it keeps increasing.
