Very yesterday, I asked very similar thing another community if as a learner and a mom, It's good for me to teach or speak English to my children. And all people said it's definitely good to my daughters even to me, even if my English isn't good. Actually it's not that I teach English to them, but we study together, I think teaching and learning together is better than doing it alone.( I hope you understand my words... you know, I'm a beginer studying English)

In an unexpected turn of events, this is what led to me becoming an atheist.

If Kurt Russell couldnt master the thing, what chance do I have?

I absolutely think this is a great tip.

What were you to begin with?

I grew up in the evangelical/baptist/non-denominational Christian world.

I fully stand behind a principle that the more you learn about "your" religion (like, the religion you are born in), the more likely you are to leave it.

I definitely became a better martial artist after I took up coaching kids in it (under a much higher ranked teacher).

I agree with this. I can see issues with every religion. But as an outsider, I do not feel like it’s my place to speak on someone else’s religious beliefs. Of course that all goes out the window when those religious beliefs cause harm to others. But for those who want to peacefully worship whatever god figure they want to worship, I have no personal issue. It’s very different with christianity though. Because I was a part of it for so long, it’s hard to look at any of it with a “you do you” kind of viewpoint. Especially with the continued rise of Christian nationalism in the USA.

If you cant teach it, you dont fully understand it

"And if you can't teach - administrate. And if you can't administrate - go into politics." (not mine..)

I’m a private math tutor.

Whenever I explain something to my students, I ask them to explain it to me as if I didn’t understand. Then I play dumb, “understanding” what they are trying to say in the wrong way to help them refine their explanation. It helps a lot.

Also, I tell them to find other students in their classroom who don’t understand the concept well and to explain to them what my student already understood. I say: “The more you explain, the more you will understand.”

100% yes. If you can teach it, you understand it and not only have notions. It's very easy to think you know until you realise you have no idea how to express yourself about it.

I think there's nuances to this.

plenty of jobs where you should be qualified before you try teaching someone. Most medical professions come to mind.

How do i teach nose picking?

I believe this is the Feynman Technique

Watch one, do one, teach one is a common phrase in the medical field

OK now I want to rewatch The Thing

What issues do you see with Islam

How I became a sex ed teacher.

Any religion that can skew it’s teachings in a way to control and harm others has issues. Islam is unfortunately one of the largest in the world that has this issue. I’m not saying every Muslim agrees with this or uses their religion in that way. But the fact that the teachings can even be skewed in that direction is problematic. Christianity is right up there with it, worse even in my part of the world.

I always thought, that people with best way of teaching certain things have to struggle with that subjects themselves. A mathematician isn't going to teach me shit, because for them, the relations and the way to solve problems just comes naturally, they deduce it. I don't. But someone who isn't good at maths or physics, had to find an explainable way, tried and managed to understand it, and can teach me that way. Instead of saying things like "naturally", ''apparent'', "logically" or "then you easily deduce" .

How does Islam skew its teachings. Muslims are pretty intolerant and don’t even change their views even when criticized. So they don’t change them to harm peopel

yup...spent time teaching my sister our math homework, we both aced the test and I struggled with math all the time

Yes I cold not recommend this more I signed up to tutor the freshman bio students while I was taking AP Bio and it helped reinforce the basics and clarified what I needed work on

It’s all about how you interpret your religious texts. One person may interpret a text literally while one interprets it figuratively. If a verse says to not eat pork, some will take that literally and not eat pork. Others will use different verses to justify their eating of pork. Not every Muslim is intolerant. There are many who are though.
