… We live in a world of ideas, rather than of facts. These ideas are elusive and mutable. They need be approached humbly. Arrogance in pedagogical orientation is dangerous. It limits reflexivity. Educators, who assume to know and venture to teach, do so blindly. Our prior assumptions, unchecked, blind us. Pedagogically, the consequences can be perilous.

 

-T.M.C, ‘Satan or Socrates: The Perils of Excessive Pride in Pedagogy’ (2008, p. 175)
