Gary Gutting, "The Stone"Students readily accept the alleged wisdom that their most important learning at college takes place outside the classroom. Many faculty members — thinking of their labs, libraries or studies — would agree. But the truth is that, for both students and faculty members, the classroom is precisely where the most important learning occurs.

I love the classroom, especially when the students are engaged. I hope to teach some day, in large part, from what the class room has done for me. It's a gift to have the experience. The classroom is a dialog at its best. Dialogs start with questions. Good teachers welcome and encourage students and learn themselves. Everybody wins.
