"Education is not the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire." - William Butler Yeats
It emphasizes that education is not merely about imparting knowledge and information to students but igniting their curiosity, passion, and desire to learn. A great teacher doesn't just provide answers but inspires students to seek knowledge, think critically, and become lifelong learners.
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid," Albert Einstein.
Fish in a Tree is a powerful reminder that our identities are never fixed and that given a classroom environment grounded by care students can overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles in their learning and in their social lives.
