The whole quote by the perfectly named Muriel Strode is:
Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.
That's our lives right? Aren't we all leaving a personal and distinctive trail?
As a teacher, I feel I'm forging a trail on a daily basis. To some extent there is a predictability to our teaching lives - we follow a set timetable after all, but there is no predicting how a class will go precisely is there? It can go in all sorts of unpredictable directions.
Individual students can take one prompt and head off into diverse directions. I love that.
That's the joy of teaching, right?
