At Ease in Between: The Middle Position of a Scholar-Practitioner
Buddhists scholar-practitioners have two major responsibilities vis-à-vis our students: 1) encourage students to “sympathetically understand” the tradition and 2) develop some critical perspective on a tradition with its lengthy history, multiplicity of sectarian forms, and great diversity of ways in which the religion has had and continues to have impact on culture, art, politics, and so forth.

The way to do it. Teaching is to ask the right questions. Your kids were so lucky in their home support team! :-)
I once had a student visit me to help him solve a problem he said he was stuck with. He came, I sat him down and asked him to tell me the problem. He explained it to me, and he immediately saw the solution. I hadn't said a word. He left, a happy young man.

WIST QuotationsA quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt
Q. Should we discourage children from playing war games?A. We might wish to discourage them, but it would be utterly useless at the present time, so we might as well give in gracefully and try to see that when war games are played they teach the lessons which we wish our children to learn — fair play, magnanimity in victory, courage in defeat and no hatred of peoples.
Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962) First Lady of the US (1933–1945), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1942-08), “If You Ask Me,” Ladies’ Home Journal, Vol. 59
