It is the part of the teacher to teach which requires patience towards their students, credible knowledge and understanding of whatever it is they are teaching, and confidence that they can teach someone different from themselves. It is the part of the student to be totally teachable and willing to learn, from someone who may be the same as, or different from them. The ability to teach or learn has nothing to do with one's race, sex, creed, etc., or their ability to relate or lack thereof to someone else. I totally agree with what you are saying in your blog.

(not necessarily a convenient straight one but more like a contour map that takes into account more than just two dimensions to describe the lay of the land. the point is that we should be sensitive to needs of people and yet be firm enough in our policies to uphold the highest of principles. sometimes you just have to endure a baby's crying till it falls asleep. life is hard for most people and if we spend too much time trying to coddle everyone we may do society the disservice of stunting it's growth. we all have to get over the past; yours, mine, the catholic church, the salem witch trials, jim crow, pearl harbor, and pretty much the whole span of human history. we should learn from past errors but not dwell in them. hope is what education should offer us rather than doom, despair and discontentment. it should be realistic hope that employs strategies for overcoming present obstacles to prosperity. rising up is not easy. freedom is a constant struggle. education ought to be about fostering that struggle to train students to meet the challenges of their time rather than simply commiserating with the less fortunate. i don't want to be made comfortable with a perceived disadvantage but rather to break forth with disciplined determination. here's an interesting scripture: he that is born into his kingdom cometh to naught. but the poor son riseth up out of his prison to rule. that's a paraphrase but i think i captured the gist of it. the greatest accomplishments have mostly been made in the midst of a dire struggle between a person and the prevailing nature of things. i've always had a nagging feeling that nature was against me. what do i do about it? adapt and overcome. i remember working at one place where educational assistance was provided without reserve. very few people took advantage of it because it seemed easier to complain about working conditions and insufficient pay. what regard was there to free market? an opportunity to better ones self was practically thrown at us. where were the takers. could it be possible to make things too easy and thereby render the experience meaningless and uninspiring? who's going to brag about climbing Knoll Everest? ok, ok, i should get to the point. good blog mah man! i think you have a good handle on what we should be accomplishing in the classroom.

the point is that we should be sensitive to needs of people and yet be firm enough in our policies to uphold the highest of principles. sometimes you just have to endure a baby’s crying till it falls asleep.
life is hard for most people and if we spend too much time trying to coddle everyone we may do society the disservice of stunting it’s growth. we all have to get over the past; yours, mine, the catholic church, the salem witch trials, jim crow, pearl harbor, and pretty much the whole span of human history. we should learn from past errors but not dwell in them. hope is what education should offer us rather than doom, despair and discontentment. it should be realistic hope that employs strategies for overcoming present obstacles to prosperity.
rising up is not easy. freedom is a constant struggle. education ought to be about fostering that struggle to train students to meet the challenges of their time rather than simply commiserating with the less fortunate.
i don’t want to be made comfortable with a perceived disadvantage but rather to break forth with disciplined determination.
here’s an interesting scripture:
he that is born into his kingdom cometh to naught. but the poor son riseth up out of his prison to rule.
that’s a paraphrase but i think i captured the gist of it.
the greatest accomplishments have mostly been made in the midst of a dire struggle between a person and the prevailing nature of things.
i’ve always had a nagging feeling that nature was against me. what do i do about it?
adapt and overcome.
i remember working at one place where educational assistance was provided without reserve. very few people took advantage of it because it seemed easier to complain about working conditions and insufficient pay. what regard was there to free market? an opportunity to better ones self was practically thrown at us. where were the takers.
could it be possible to make things too easy and thereby render the experience meaningless and uninspiring?
who’s going to brag about climbing Knoll Everest?

ok, ok, i should get to the point. good blog mah man!

What is my motive? by herb-aceous http://jeremiah0517.wordpress.com/2008/04/08/reflection-2-why-do-i-really-write-what-is-my-motive/#comment-14 herb-aceous Thu, 10 Apr 2008 00:50:15 +0000 http://jeremiah0517.wordpress.com/?p=9#comment-14 my favorite kind of writing is love letters. what --the-- world --needs now--- is love --sweet love it's the only thing -- that --there's-- just ----- to little of. most of my writing (and this is a small set) is historical because it is my job. i send emails to get things done by other people for other people. it's a pretty good job. i entertain myself by demonstrating a little wit and fancy here and there but it's mostly just business or not much gets done. i would like to develop a modicum of writing skill sufficient to mildly enamour my fellow man and especially the women in a good thing. i promise to look up that word to make sure i spelled it and used it rightly but for now i'm just enamoured of the sound of it. i like it when people agree with me but i'm also suspicious of such conditions and tend to attribute the occurence to being initially misunderstood or as an omen that the world is about to end. so i exaggerate. but if everyone were to agree with me i would not congratulate myself for attaining amazing powers of persuasion but rather worry how i didn't remember stumbling into the rabbit hole. my favorite kind of writing is love letters.
what –the– world –needs now— is love –sweet love
it’s the only thing — that –there’s– just —– to little of.
