What to teach if anything

When I think of teaching, I think of something that is both controlled and uncontrolled, conscience and unconscious...Teaching does not only occur within the confines of a classroom. We are constantly teaching our children through our behaviors, lifestyle, ect. So in thinking of teaching as something that occurs inevitably, I think that the question posed in class was pertinent....Given that there are no absolute truths, we should teach our children how to think(not what to think)- make sense and be critical of what they see and hear. We should teach them how to create and encourage individuality(to a certain degree) and confidence, but at the same time promote team-work. We should definitely teach our children love as bennett stated.
