I found this picture on flikr and felt it captured the idea of learning perfectly.
To me, school is like a whole heap of doors and teachers have the keys to open them. For centuries, schools have been the way to educate people about the world and how to live and interact with society. Teachers can be seen as the keys to the doors because they are the ones who provide the opportunities to seek. Teachers are, or should be the mentors, the guiders and the leaders for students. They shoould encourage the students to open the doors and inquire and learn.
Even when students have finished school, whether it be primary or secondary, teachers would have allowed students to make a copy of those keys so you can, at any time, open those doors throughout your life and keep finding information.

That’s a great metaphor! I love the idea that students can “make copies” of the keys to use later.
Awesome! Great picture too-well done flickr!!
Hola chica linda
I agree, that is a geat metaphor! When i first saw your image I thought it was the same as a poster i have of all different doors and windows from a colonial town in Guatemala, called Antigua. I really love the poster, and i really love how you have connected the ideas! =)
Beautiful Jem!! Very poetic.. I agree teaching is about opening doors of opportunity for people and then giving them the guidance and space to discover for themselves.
Hi guys. Vegetarianism is harmless enough, though it is apt to fill a man with wind and self-righteousness.
I am from Denmark and learning to speak English, tell me right I wrote the following sentence: “Cross dressing from head to toe by paul rj wilsoncross dressing is fun and exciting.”
Thank you very much
