I believe it's very important that we all work together. As a teacher, I will make sure that my students have activities that involve collaborating with others. The old saying, "Two heads are better than one", is definitely true. I know that the kids will be able to learn so much more when they break into groups. It will also give them an opportunity to share ideas, and meet new people. Not only does this philosophy apply to my students, but to me as well. I want to work with my students as much as possible.
"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee." -John Donne
