Dear reader,
One of my biggest fears as a teacher is that I abuse my rhetoric. I fear that my students and peers listen to me because of my speaking style, rather than what I have to say.
Looking through the histories of various cult leaders like Jim Jones and Fred Phelps, I worry about my charisma and my debating skills.
In the future, I have to empahsise the following:
A) To focus on the facts, not intentions.
B) To allow students to express dissenting opinion
C) To encourage my peers to question my assertions if unsure.
Regards,
Reuben
