It is said that a good student learns from his teacher so that he can pass the teacher and become even better.
However, Nikos Kazantzakis, a Greek author, says that the teacher also learns from the student, or he must learn from the student, he must learn how the student thinks, what he thinks, what he likes, and so on... So that he can be able to understand the worldview of the student and to find the right methods to convey knowledge to him.
What does @cryotosensei think about this?
Absolutely, students keep you alert as they make questions, which triggers your learning. Always a good idea to be surrounded by young people who keep challenging you.

Absolutely. Broadly speaking, children and teens play a lot of games like Call of Duty and Mobile Legend and Roblox, so the current educational trend is gamification, in which students complete quests and score points while learning concepts. It is hoped that doing so will make their learning more engaging, so they will focus better and remember more.
On a personal level, teachers must know their students’ preferred learning styles so that they can help the latter learn better. For instance, I focus on getting dyslexics to receive information via infographics and videos because they are more attuned to acquiring knowledge through their visual and auditory intelligences. After all, we are not imparting content, we are moulding unique individuals.
