    What stood out for me in this teaching is that, the speaker made mention of what John Dewey said over 100 years ago, he stated that " IF WE TEACH TODAY AS WE TAUGHT YESTERDAY WE ROB STUDENTS OF THEIR TOMORROW " and even after this amount of years we are still talking about it, this motivated me as an educator to join others who might understand this an desire a change in the educational sector to always want to do my best in helping student stand out so that even after many years from now this same thing would not be said.
