read a book called "teaching with love and logic" or something like that...it's a good book that my mom read (she's a teacher). it teaches you how to teach a class, or student, that is disobedient and noisy.

Christopher Columbus was really sailing for India for their spices, silk, and other goods to trade.  When he ran into Hispanola, he thought he had landed in India, and thus he called the people there Indians.

It was the beginning of his education.But he is not allowed to be\nmore learned than his teacher. The only way is to leave the teacher, but the teacher said, 'God of this book will bring death\nto you if you dare defy His servant your teacher.' But some dare\nto and they learn from others who had created other Gods.

I remember when I got in trouble for answering a question CORRECTLY.  I think the teacher felt threatened because I had a better understanding of English (the subject, not the language) than she did.  My parents are both former English teachers, what can I say?  She was talking about something and said "I can't remember what it's called when you can spell a word the same forward and backward."  I answered that is was a "palindrome."  She said, "Oh, I remember now.  It's a homophone!"  I answered, very respectfully, that a homophone is something that sounds the same.  (homo=same, phone=sound)  She snarled at me and told me to go look it up.  I was right, and ever since that day, she tried to make everything harder on me, or would make sarcastic comments like "What do YOU think, smarty-pants?"  Still made an "A", and thank God I only had her one year.

I am a teacher (actually a university professor). My *job* is to teach people and I enjoy it. I want to promote a world where people think for themselves rather than take whatever those in power tell them. I believe this will make the world a better place not only for me, but for my daughter and others that I love. When I find someone that has misunderstandings about basic things like atheism, or mathematics, or evolution, or history I try to teach them if I can. Seek the truth and it shall set you free.

When I taught a geography class last fall, I showed the documentary "The Virgin Diaries" to my students. Paid out of pocket for the rental fee, too. Whew!\n\nMy intent was that my students would have some sense of Muslims as real people (we live on a very small island). What they got out of it was how difficult it is for Muslim women.

Columbus wanted to prove you could sail to the far east by sailing west, that the world was round.\n\nAnd, he didn't discover America. He thought we was in India.\n\nColumbus was the prototype of a Politician: he headed off not knowing where he was going, arrived not knowing were he was, and did it all on borrowed money.

I work in an intermediate school in the far corner of the US on a tropical island. Most of the students in this school have ancestors who have lived in this archipelago for hundreds or thousands of years. \n\nTheir whole lives, they read books and textbooks about people who live thousands of miles away in a four-season climate. They watch movies and TV shows about these people who never go squidding, never hunt pigs, wouldn't know an 'ulua from a mahi, don't own a rice cooker, can't surf, never paddled an outrigger canoe, and can't even hula. The limits of the interest these kids have in people who live so far away have been reached and passed. \n\nMost kids of 14 and under anywhere don't even know enough about how people live in different parts of the world to sustain enough interest to read a textbook chapter on the subject, let alone a whole textbook. In a way that's because their brains are still developing the ability to think abstractly. \n\nThey really aren't able to "put themselves in the shoes" of someone who disagrees with them, or has a different kind of background. They'll say something like , "The Bible is nonfiction," and they're not going to be able to process the idea that most people in the world do not believe or worship the same as they do in their families. And if you try to get them to think like someone who lived in the past, most just would not be able to do that. \n\nTo be honest, some people don't develop any kind of interest in world history or geography (sorry, I'm a geographer, can't get away from it) until they have graduated from high school. That being said, I have made a deliberate effort to bring videos into classrooms that open a window into how people live and have lived in other parts of the world. I showed my Latino, African, and American Black 5th graders in Washington, DC a documentary about Hawaiians rediscovering the ancient art of navigation by the stars. Those Hawaiians sailed a double-hulled canoe thousands of miles with no GPS, no sextant, no compass and landed in Tahiti. I actually know a few of the crew members personally! I showed my 7th graders in Hawaii a documentary about the overthrow of apartheid in South Africa. They were able to understand what happened in South Africa, because they know what happened in Hawaii.\n\nKids this age are probably more ready for bits and pieces of world history than the school systems give them credit for. They may not ready for a systematic study of the history of the whole world.

1.Because they don't know God.\n2.Because we don't understand them;\n3.Because they didn't have a teacher like Mrs. Thompson:\n\nA Teacher's Lesson \nThere is a story many years ago of an elementary teacher. Her name was Mrs. Thompson. And as she stood in front of her 5th grade class on the very first day of school, she told the children a lie. Like most teachers, she looked at her students and said that she loved them all the same. \n\nBut that was impossible, because there in the front row, slumped in his seat, was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. Mrs. Thompson had watched Teddy the year before and noticed that he didn't play well with the other children, that his clothes were messy and that he constantly needed a bath. And Teddy could be unpleasant. \nIt got to the point where Mrs. Thompson would actually take delight in marking his papers with a broad red pen, making bold X's and then putting a big "F" at the top of his papers. \n\nAt the school where Mrs. Thompson taught, she was required to review each child's past records and she put Teddy's off until last. However, when she reviewed his file, she was in for a surprise. \n\nTeddy's first grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is a bright child with a ready laugh. He does his work neatly and has good manners...he is a joy to be around."\nHis second grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is an excellent student, well liked by his classmates, but he is troubled because his mother has a terminal illness and life at home must be a struggle." \n\nHis third grade teacher wrote, "His mother's death has been hard on him. He tries to do his best but his father doesn't show much interest and his home life will soon affect him if some steps aren't taken." \n\nTeddy's fourth grade teacher wrote, "Teddy is withdrawn and doesn't show much interest in school. He doesn't have many friends and sometimes sleeps in class."\nBy now, Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and she was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when her students brought her Christmas presents, wrapped in beautiful ribbons and bright paper, except for Teddy's. His present which was clumsily wrapped in the heavy, brown paper that he got from a grocery bag. \n\nMrs. Thompson took pains to open it in the middle of the other presents. Some of the children started to laugh when she found a rhinestone bracelet with some of the stones missing, and a bottle that was one quarter full of perfume. But she stifled the children's laughter when she exclaimed how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some of the perfume on her wrist. \n\nTeddy Stoddard stayed after school that day just long enough to say, "Mrs. Thompson, today you smelled just like my Mom used to." After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she quit teaching reading, and writing, and arithmetic. Instead, she began to teach children.. \n\nMrs. Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. As she worked with him, his mind seemed to come alive. The more she encouraged him, the faster he responded. By the end of the year, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class and, despite her lie that she would love all the children the same, Teddy became one her "teacher's pets." \n\nA year later, she found a note under her door, from Teddy, telling her that she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. Six years went by before she got another note from Teddy. He then wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. \n\nFour years after that, she got another letter, saying that while things had been tough at times, he'd stayed in school, had stuck with it, and would soon graduate from college with the highest of honors. He assured Mrs. Thompson that she was still the best and favorite teacher he ever had in
