Sometimes the I-function does get in the way of learning but the lack of the I function would make us act like the frog. The fact that we are human, we need to be creative, to think, and to enjoy things that we do. We also need to let our unconscious experiences help us. I think the trick is when do we turn the I function off to allow us to be more "creative".

I think we all take risks in our life. Some small, some large, even when our I function says no. I think the older we get doesn't change, the fact that we want to take risks but we make conscious decisions to put others before ourselves. When we are younger with little or no responsibility it is easy to take a risk because someone will be there to help us but as we get more responsibilities our I function pushes us into reality and conformity of what is expected of us.   Our I function makes us think that we are not being risky or spontaneous but ...... Just by coming to this workshop is a risk because it changes the way we think about teaching and the way our students learn.
