thought provoking thought of the dayschool presentation?

Why do they call it a building if it's already built?\n\nWhy do they call them apartments when they're all stuck together?

Hi there!\n\nWell, I would like to say that a child should be provided an environment where he can be himself and develop into a good personality. \n\nI hope I do not sound 'cliche'\n\nAs a young teacher, I feel that most of the children now-a days are prepared by the parents, teachers or rather society to play a role which they could not play or reach the place which they have never been! \n\nI am not against encouraging them to face future but rather than providing with materialistic things and making them more dependent and selfish we can give then 'Values' which seem to be deteriorating day by day!\n\nThey should be made aware about the real facts regarding people rather than bookish knowledge!\n\nThey should be taught to share, to take all things whether sad or happy moments in their stride and develop self confidence with self respect but not arrogance and rudeness!\n\nthey should not be taught by instruction but indirectly by being an example!\n\nSo, I hope I was able to justify the answer and make sense!\n\nWell much more can be written but it would be too long answer!

Does your son use an agenda book for school?  I've seen my students open up their books and those who find surprise hello messages/ love notes showing no matter what happens... they have less stress, knowing they can do "no wrong".  I've written on my daughters' actual napkins and ziploc bags so that when they got to lunch they could eat, relax, and know that mommy and daddy love them.  Send a hot cocoa packet with a note that says, "when you get home, I can't wait for you to quiz me with the  hardest test question!"

As a teacher, just hearing that book title makes me feel ill-at-ease.  Sounds a bit too touchy-feely for the real world you'll be soon encountering.  No, I've never read your particular book.  But I recommend the book below; although ambitiously overpriced, it's interesting and gives you plenty to think about and consider for adaptation in your own classroom.  I believe it is thus worth what you'll pay.

Father I ask you to open our minds to receive and to be able understand  what is being taught today. \n\nHoly Spirit help us remember  the things we have learned today, so we will be able to bring them to mind, when we need them. \n\nJeremiah 33:3 Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you don't know

Literally it is "thinking about thinking". This means becoming self-aware of one's own thoughts and how you process information. It is one of these education buzz-words these days in terms of different students needing to learn different ways.

Look up Simone Weil - or Truth is Beauty.  There's some fun philosophical stuff about it, all relating to reality and faith / lack of faith.  You could just blow your teacher's mind - fundamentally all is one and one is all.  Have fun.

Thank you very much for this question!  It is good to think about it because it does help you realize the really important things.\n\nI would visit all my family and friends and spend some time telling them how much I love them, and how much they have influenced me and made my life better.  I would make arrangements for what to do with all my belongings to make sure they were put to good use.  I have a lot of stuffed animals that I bet some children would love to have.  Wow, see that makes me realize that I should give them away even though I will hopefully live more than 7 days!  \n\nI would pray and meditate.  I would visit the Temple and spend a long time there in meditation in the presence of God.\n\nI would probably do a lot of writing.  I would try to leave behind some of my ideas that I think may help other people.

"When the student is ready, the teacher appears."\n\nI think that you recognized and prized this girl's perspective (for want of a better word) because her values reflected, or helped you identify, your own. \n\nThere's a lot to be said for calm reflective evaluation rather than snap judgements.\n\nYou were lucky to have been exposed to this wise person when you were.\n\nCompassion seems to be a prominent theme in all the major religions. It seems to me that fanactics and politicians twist the doctrines and the scriptures to suit their own devices. They are not representative of the "religion" as a whole. \n\nI could go on and on, but I won't :-))\n\nI, personally, enjoy your bright, open-minded outlook as reflected in your posts here. You seem (to me, for what it is worth) to be a true "seeker."

There is an author. Zacariah Sitchin. Whether his views are right or not he really gets you to thinking a lot deeper. Personally, yes, I believe that this life is just a testing period to prepare us for the next life. After all, what is a lifetime here in years compared to an eternity of years.

Hey, hows about this?\n\nA day in the life of a tree\n\nImagine that trees could see things. Imagine what a tree would see in 24 hours. A domestic argument, friendships formed and broken...\n\nA simple idea but you could make it brilliant. Maybe I'm being nuts but better than an elaborate idea that has been done to death.

Hi Nancy! How funny is this? I have never used Yahoo! Answers before today, and this was one of the first questions I saw.\n\n  I just attended the Mystery School event for the first time in November. It was so great and I am so happy I attended!!! :)  It is absolutely impossible to explain my experience without sounding strange, but there is lots of info on their organization web site.  There is also a FAQ section so don't miss that page.  This group is not affiliated with a religious group.  It is so happy and magical! The teacher is enlightened and a woman, which is so very inspiring to me.  Gold light was everywhere in the room while she was speaking and meditating. There is no doubt in my mind that this is the real deal and not some fake teacher.  \n\nI heard about it from a girl at my cancer clinic, and all I know is that she was this bright soul that picked me up on one of the worst days of my life.  I was unsure about attending, but so glad I did because it is really a mystery school. Even if you aren't sure about going, I'd suggest that you at least try to attend once. The December events are the last 3 nights in San Diego according to the advertisement I saw on the SD Reader.   \n\nI hope this helps some!\n\n- Christie

I did one on pseudo-scientific experiments by Nazis during World World II.  It was absolutely repulsive but the people in my class were riveted.  Pick something that others will find interesting and that you want to share with them.  When I felt that people were really listening and thinking about what I was saying and not concentrating on me, I was a lot less nervous about being up in front of so many people.

How about a closing paragraph/sentence about how beneficial it would be to incorporate all those strategies into university life and the difference it could make to overall success?\n\nI hope this helps.
