It gets lonely by the White Tanks, as beautiful as they are. I imagine talking with them sometimes, puting my ideas to their peaks. They will change too, though.
I told the library assistant that I was getting rid of my TV today and she r/ejaculated: "why would you do that?" "Because it's fucking hideous sitting in our living room." "I just don't know what I'd do without law and order reruns. Are you one of those people who cannot have their foods touching?!" "Shut up."
There is no existence in elementary education for me--it takes some different kind of individual that's into control and forced learning. There's no room for an individual, they'll ruin your job history otherwise.

Nice man, throw that boob tube in the bonfire and watch it melt into something worth displaying. Elementary: We need some more Piaget, at least some Dewey, that's for sure. Riverside just decided to cut the music program for the little ones. Self expression and original thought only manifest through filling in the bubbles on the standardized answer sheet to say something like, "HELL NO."
My bike posted on FGG.
I saw that bike.
We do need more of that ish in the elementary classroom. But I don't think any theory of education will change the fact that I don't want to teach at that level of education, or the fact that students at this developmental stage are more selfish than anything. There are the very few who love knowledge, the vary few.
Let me know what you think. I've got to get to teachin'.
Yeah, that's the constructivist aspect I was mainly thinking about. Not necessarily the "activities" that come from that theory, but the idea that students should be intrinsically motivated; The supposition that a thirst for knowledge leads to authentic learning. I think kids would have a stronger desire to learn if they had something besides standardized facts in a boring book to memorize and regurgitate for the state tests. But I know it's really a bigger issue than that. Parents need to read to their kids, turn off the xbox, be involved, care about their own learning, and all that. But I also agree, even with all of that, they'd still be selfish little buggers and I wouldn't want to be in charge of 35 of them.
I've always heard that there's a vacuum in monitors and TVs and such. If you hammer the screen, apparently, it'll ex/implode. Maybe that's all just mythological. (never look-at-blog nothin')
means a lot to me.
