Our school superintendent used this in a letter about ways to improve the school. I'd like to find out if it came from a book or a well-known study or something. I've seen a few references to it online, but they all seem to refer to it as if someone else invented it.

The first I heard the term was in an old Meatloaf song where he mentioned having sex by the dashboard lights. I don't understand the context that you use it in unless he is refering to it like the lights on your dash that tell you something is wrong with your car.

The first step for a guy like me was to look up the word "paradigm" in Webster's to see what it means. I realized when I read the definition that I understood the principal and could think of examples. I had therefore learned what a "paradigm" is. And you, by posing the question, had taught me. Presto, the paradigm of teaching and learning was formed!\nI don't know how to explain it but it just happened. Cool!\nYou go girl! And let us know how you do with your essay.

Since all teachers have different ways of torturing their students, I suggest you take your query and the answers you receive directly to the source.  Make your teacher EXPLAIN exactly what it is that they are expecting you to do.  To me "cleanup" would mean to rewrite it to benefit your original statement, but even that seems too bizarre for a solution to your problem.  Maybe it is the use of real & ficticious characters your teacher was making reference to.  Good luck, I'm probably NO help. Thanks for the brain teaser!

This is what teachers read on a daily basis so this wasn't too hard.... it's actually amazing that you can read it when it is all messed up\n\n\n\n\ni cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg.

It was actually a mistake. A chemist working for an adhesives company was trying to make a new adhesive. When he showed it to his bosses they discarded the idea, after all, what good is an adhesive that doesn't really hold that well. Not wanting to trash his invention, the man bought all rights to it and played with some ideas to market the adhesive. Eventually, he noticed people tacking or taping notes around the office and the post-it was born!

It's all a metaphor - a teaching tool.\n\nPeace!

Dear Jassa b,\n            What do you think? Does all these stupidities work? Abstain from such handiwork. These are Satan's handiwork. There was a research done in America. There was a Professor who taught a class of 100 students. After a week, the Professor said, I have got to know the nature and past of every student. I will write it on papers and give the students. After it, the students will open it simultaneously and tell whether it is true or not. The Professor wrote the nature and past of every student and distributed them among the students. When the students opened them, more than 90 % students said that the Professor was 100 % correct and the remaining 8 or 9 % said that the Professor was 90% correct. After that, the Professor told that he wrote the same thing for every student. You know there are certain things which are for sure, which anyone can say. Like, I say that in the next 6 months, you will hear a good news. Even if 100 bad things have happened, at least one good thing will happen. Its just a guess.\n\nSo ....  Abstain from palmistry.

This is sort of like the chicken and/or the egg. But The principle (undoubtedly) was discovered, but the implementation of the object was invented - ie it is the combination of axle, hub, and bearing that is the invention, allowing a wheel to be attached to a cart or similar, to make it useful.\n\n The idea of perpetual motion is nothing new. It was discovered and proven in the beginning of the 18 century. The invention was a working system using the gravity force to power the wheel. This made the inventor famous in history. \n\nThus, in summation, I firmly believe that the wheel was discovered just by observing nature but the axle, etc was invented.

Your teacher is crazy and using words that are not correct.  Though I believe that they mean "untwister".  Please tell your teacher to use correct terms.  If you want to impress them, tell them the "untwister" is actually called a topoisomerase.

I don't know what the tool was called, but it was used for a different purpose, if I got my story right. Here it is.\n      Back in the sixteen hundreds people were very religious. Church sermons went on for hours. Life was very hard in those days, so the people were forever in need of rest. During those long drawn-out sermons it was hard for many to remain awake.\n     Many would doze. The guy with the stick would tickle the ladies who were dozing. The stick ( as I read ) had a wooden ball on the other end. Men caught dozing got a rap on the head with the ball.\n     Sorry, I don't know the name of the stick, but I'm glad that I didn't live in the days of the Puritans.

Gee, the last time I saw that on the homework list, it wasn't nearly so well worded.  I guess I'm supposed to be lured into answering this because it's so polite and insightful.  Yet, you see, I'm in a, ummm,  a double-bond here.  1)  I don't like doing people's homework - it's unethical, and 2)  How do THEY learn the material?\n\nAnyone out there got additional comments?

I'm not a teacher but I've got a few as a student.  Once, when I was in 7th grade, my english teacher Mrs. Salisbury (If you see this email me!! haha) Was teaching us about Huckelberry Finn.  And after reading I think it was the section where he tricks the other kids in to paying him to let them whitewash the fence, she stood up in front of the class (And mind you, she was a very prim and proper woman.) and says "Alrignt, now how did F*ck Hinn ...." and naturally stopped there as the entire class went into hysterics.  I don't think we got much accomplished after that for the rest of the day lol\n-Duo

Since the question is relative to whether it is good or not:\nYes, it is.\nWould you like us to work it out as well? I appreciate that it must come right out of a quesiton from, perhaps, your homework? Otherwise, why the last sentence? "One hint is that it is related to chapter- 'CIRCLES'" Can you attach that entire chapter for us as well?\n\nThanks!

Yes, it was Konrad Gesner.\n\nIt dates (we think) to 1565, when Konrad von Gesner, a Swiss-German naturalist, devised a wooden container filled with graphite for the purpose of drawing and writing. Refined, the invention—arguably history's most practically useful communication tool—became universally popular. If you keep a sharpener handy and can avoid breaking the point, you ostensibly can get about 45,000 words or 35 miles of sketched lines from the average pencil.\n\nIncidentally, the common term "lead pencil" is misleading (please excuse the play on spellings). At one time, graphite wrongly was considered to be synonymous with lead.

it's just a summary..dont be afraid. its basically the way you understand the concept.maybe you can throw in your own little example.

that Dr Benjamin Rush the founder of public schools felt that the bible should be the central book of public schools. he wrote.  \n\n    I lament that we waste so much time and money in  punishing crimes and take so little pains to prevent them... we neglect the only means of establishing and perpetuating our republican forms of government ; that is, the universal education of our youth in the princeples of Christianity by means of the bible.... equility among mankind... respect for just laws... and sober and frugal virtues.  \n\n  and then there is this statement by President John Adams.\n\n  We have no government armed in power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Our Constituation was made only for a relious and moral people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.\n\n  hope this helps. both quotes come from Under God written by Toby Mac and Michael Tait from dctalk

It is a kind of "Grammar contest", in which the best students in each school participate.\n\nBy the way, it appeared in The Simpsons once.
