The Chronicle: Colloquy: Responses

I strongly believe that aging shouldn't be an aspect to be criticized if you happen to talk about higher education. You have to respect the effort that others have done because staying a long time teaching demands self-motivation and love for teaching. We must keep on learning to cope with the latest information regarding education. If you consider you have learned all that you wanted, I think it is time to retire and let others do your job. I do respect and admire well-experienced professors that are on the job. Never is too late to learn new things.

I have been teaching for over three years, and I am a young professsor myself.
