Teaching is very metacognitive.
With an understanding of what the student is thinking,
one may begin guidance to that which the student
may think,
could think,
should think,
and so on.
Teachers are expected to do this service for the society. The entire community relies on teachers to use metacognition. I feel the outrage a community expresses when this fails, so where is the joy when this succeeds on a daily basis.

I think you're absolutely right. There should be much more joy, palpable joy. After all, teaching succeeds thousands of times more than it fails.
And so do the students if the adults would only stop and think about it.
Don't you think?
Does thinking happen only in the brain? Do other parts of the body "think"?
Why do Eastern cultures use a word for "mind" that translates more like "heart"?
