Showing a Child how to think independently

A teacher is a person that can actually put their own opinions to the side and state the facts to come to an objective conclusion. Everyone has their own opinion, however to be a great teacher you must teach the person to actually look at the facts in order to not only come to their own opinion, but to be able to see both sides in order to come to the truth. They say that history is written by the victor, which means that both sides at one point thought themselves to be on the right side of history. Someone has to be incorrect in order for a story to be told. However this is not always the case. To believe in something you should at least get the chance to  understand both stories. No matter what side you want to take.
