One winter afternoon the teacher was trying to show a young boy how to zip up his coat. "The secret," the teacher said, "is to get this piece of the zipper to fit in the other side before you try to zip it up." After struggling with the zipper for several minutes, the boy sighed and said, "Why does it have to be a secret?"

In teaching it is the method and not the content that is the message...the drawing out, not the pumping in.
