Never stop learning

Howdy!  As I went through this week's lessons, readings, and so on for my Master's something kept being said over and over - the importance of continued education.  Now, I've always known that one must never stop learning.  However, hearing it and reading it multiple times this week, this concept took a new meaning.  As an educator we always want to inspire our students to keep working towards a common goal - graduation, college, career.  But shouldn't we be setting an example that learning doesn't stop once you have landed that dream job.  It should always be a continuing process.  If teachers would model learning and how it never stops, then our students would be more apt to do the same.  Our students hear only a small percentage of what we say, but they see and hear what we do.  I liked how one leader put it, if we will take the time to read 10-15 minutes a day in the area we are interested in, we can learn a great deal of information and maybe how to solve problems through someone else's experience.  Like my colleague and boss states it is always best to, Reduce, Recycle and Reuse - even in education.
