what teachers hope for

part of the reason that i teach is because i love what i teach - and i want to share that love and delight and joy with others. and i hope that they grow to (at least) appreciate what i love (and that i can share that love well). and that they would continue to want to learn and hear about the things i'm sharing.

the textbook for the class i had in january was The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne. Shane came to Calvin this past week, and one of my former students let me know that she went and saw everyone from the class there. and when i heard that, i couldn't help but be delighted - for they wanted to keep learning and hearing after the class.
