Simple enough question, but an incredibly challenging one to answer. Peter Beidler, in the most thoughtful and honest of ways, delivers his answer in this special book. Read his words and you will have the opportunity to stop and reflect on life, contemplate why you do the things you do, and rediscover where your life takes on meaning. Beidler writes about lifelong learning.... ? “… as a teacher I had both a decent salary and the only kind of power worth having, the power to change lives. “ ? “I teach because I like to learn. Take the ma out of the question, Why do you teach, Pete? and you get a better question, Why do you teach Pete? I teach Pete because Pete gets as flat and stale as dayold beer if Pete stops learning. I stay alive as a teacher only as long as I am learning. One of the major discoveries of my professional life is that I teach best not what I know, but what I want to learn.” ? “I teach because I enjoy finding ways within an ivorytower profession to get myself and my students out of the ivory tower and into the real world. “ ? “I teach because teaching gives me many types of nectar to taste, many books to read, and many ivory and realworld towers to discover. Teaching gives me pace and variety and challenge and the opportunity to keep on learning. I teach for all those reasons, but they are not the most important reasons why I teach.” ? “These are the real reasons I teach, these people who grow and change in front of my eyes. Being a teacher is being present at the creation, when the clay begins to breathe. Nothing is more exciting than being nearby when the breathing starts.” ? “And I already have a power more real than most people ever get. I have the power to nudge, to fan sparks, to water parched roots, to ask troubling questions, to praise an attempted answer, to condemn hiding from the truth, to suggest books to read, to point to where a pathway starts.” ? “What power is more real than asking a question like, ?What do you mean by real? Do you mean real as in real estate or as in real world or as in royal, one of the original forms of the word? If you found out that you were going to die next week, would it matter whether you were royalty? Incidentally, we are all, metaphorically speaking, going to die next week. What do I mean by metaphorically in that sentence??” ? “But teaching also offers something besides good money and real power. It offers love. Not only the love of learning and of books and of ideas, but also the love that a teacher feels for that real student who walks into a teacher?s life, begins to breathe, and then walks out. Perhaps love is the wrong word. ?Is magic what I me
