My teaching philosophy is a learning philosophy. Although I am teaching English, what I really hope I’m doing is promoting the idea that learning, learning anything, is a game – a game to be played well or poorly, with enjoyment or misery.

Learning is the greatest game in life and the most fun. All children are born believing this and will continue to believe this until we convince them that learning is very hard work and unpleasant. Some kids never learn this lesson, and go through life believing that learning is fun and the only game worth playing. We have a name for such people. We call them geniuses.
