The question has appeared on the process of studying BAPP. And, I got to the point which I actually find it hard to ignore, I have discussed with my colleagues about it, however, in the end, discussions I had with them did not take me anywhere. So, I need to ask your opinion. I am aware that, no one can really give me the answer I am looking for, as I do not even know what the answer is. What I want to know is how other practitioners major other practitioners opinions or knowledge. We, practitioners learn new things every day, and these new experience takes us to different place, not just different level, I think. And, these experiences clearly change our opinions, point of view and sometimes changes who we are as a practitioner. That is only natural and that is the way should be, otherwise no point of learning and experience new things, I think. If I am right, more we learn about our profession, well, we learn about life itself or Deeping the understanding of life through learning our profession; through this process we see things from different direction; we started to see the dimension which always exist but because of the lacking of knowledge or experience, we just could not see them. For example, first, we see things one dimensionally, but as we deepen our knowledge, we see things two, three dimensionally. If, practitioners carry on learning, possibly be able to see through even what is going on in side of it! I guess builders or doctors learning process is close to this, I imagine. The question is, as we are all practitioners, we are constantly learning and that effect our opinions or the way we value things, which we cannot avoid and should not avoid! Then, how can we surely teach or criticise others? For example, there are quite few painters or musicians, composers, who no one really knew till years after they have died. However, time has passed, people started value things differently, then, these artists suddenly became famous! Especially, this happened when a lot of communism countries have vanished. My point is these artists have always existed, but people did not see their value. What does it tell us? Does it mean meaning and value changes with time or as people deepen their knowledge? Can time or people`s knowledge change even meaning and value of fact?. If, we have decided someone`s opinion has no value. But few years later, as we learn and experience more in life, then, we realised that, the person`s opinion was meaningful and valuable. Do we have any responsibility about the decision we made at the time? I had so many embarrassing discussions based on faulty or uncertain knowledge. Since I realised that, I am quite quiet and very careful with what I say in discussion. Also, since then, before I teach people, I try to explain everyone I am teaching based on my current knowledge and experience, so my way of teaching or What I teach can be changed as I deepen my knowledge. I wonder what students think of me as a teacher....
