This is mistaken. Anyone who has ever had a teacher who changed the course of their life simply by listening knows that some people develop skills that are extremely valuable and hard to acquire. How do you listen to someone’s needs even when they’re not clearly articulated? How do you help children develop confidence and joy? How do you help pe
