Teacher = Student

The Teacher is the Student...The Student is the Teacher.

The Student uses the Teacher to break the threshold of the knowledge limited to his personal experiences. The Teacher offers perspective, years of wisdom and expanded knowledge from which he has gained, or was led to, by a previous Teacher...the Student will then become the Teacher...

The Teacher uses the Student to share, reinforce and expand his knowledge. The Student represents a foundation that the Teacher builds upon; novice, the root of learning. In order for the Teacher to teach, he must understand and have knowledge of the root of knowledge and learning by revisiting his root. Because the Teacher must revisit his root, the novice of the Student brings the knowledge of the Teacher into question, thus the Teacher must break his threshold, reinforce his root and...the Teacher becomes the Student...

The Teacher needs the Student in order to reinforce his own knowledge and understanding.

The Student needs the Teacher in order to overcome a threshold of knowledge and understanding.

The relationship is cyclical.
