     I feel that education is a process that depends on students as well as teachers to be successful. I must present accurate content, in a variety of ways, to enable all types of learners the opportunity to gain knowledge. It is the student's responsibility to "learn" the information presented. I can teach, but I cannot learn for my students. Students must take more responsibility for their own success or failure in education.
