The Socratic Method

I was just reading The Socratic Method and there were a lot of interesting things that stood out to me. One of these things was that in order for the Socratic Method to work the person must think negatively willing. The Socratic Method is often used to pursue the truth. If one can not think negatively willing they try to not to listen to all the criticism that people say. This method best works when people have developed a sensitivity to logic. The Socratic Method doesn't have to be bad it still has its advantages. One of these advantages is that it helps you with critical thinking. This method is not only good with students but with teachers too. It helps the teacher dive deeper into the subject they are teaching. It helps them think of questions and issues related to the subject. This method also gives the students the chance to send feedback and the teacher has the opportunity to take that into consideration. By also using this method it gives students the chance to let go of their childhood ego by encountering criticism. I think that The Socratic Method is both good for students and teachers because it helps them grow and be open to criticism and feedback.
