Building a house

Learning is like building a wooden house from scratch. It requires nails to hold pieces of wood together. Reinforcing concepts is like hitting the nail firmly into the wood. My job of teaching is like helping students position pieces of wood together and placing the nails properly. How firmly the nail is secured into the wood would be dependent on how many times the students are willing to nail it in. Ultimately, overtime we are building a house which would be able to withstand the tremors of earthquakes or the forces of the torrential rain. Nobody wants to live in a house feeling insecure that it might collapse anytime, akin to walking into an exam without preparing fully.
