In the classroom, I delegate responsibilities to my students at a rate that astounds people. There is almost nothing that I will not allow my students to do, including teaching my lessons whenever possible. My students take full and complete ownership of the classroom, whether they like it or not, and as a result, they possess great ownership of their learning.

They fail to understand the importance of autonomy when delegating responsibilities.

They lack faith in the capacity of others.

I learned to “let go” and simply trust others to maintain certain gem suites.
