It is impossible to weight the importance of the teachers who have been teachers instead of "colleagues" or "friends" of their pupils. Time, maturity, balances everything in life, making justice. Education is not different. Most adults acknowledge good teachers notwithstanding they did not love or respect them. Only adults feel gratitude (and shame) when they think on teachers who did a good job with them meanwhile they were only offering problems and fight. Their point of view, their perception of the reality, has changed. As kids are just kids, they are not capable to take decisions on the education that they need, deserve and can have. The world today has nothing to do with the 18th century theories. The association of the concept of innocence, or just childhood, with the concept of intelligence, is dangerous and to be worried.

I wanted something other than CM Study/Support Group. I liked Karen Andreola's idea of Mother Culture, but that term is trademarked (or whatever) to her. I came up with Learning with Charlotte as I felt it accurately conveyed what we're trying to do in a pleasant way.

There, I feel better already.<br /><br />I was once at a Visual Thinking Strategies workshop (akin to CM's picture appreciation) and some teachers in attendance could not fathom "not teaching" the children, not being the "sage on the stage" that tells the point, the moral, or the main idea. Could one actually enjoy the labor of Sisyphus?Richelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040133815286428699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-241960203289083167.post-90468405930291363532011-04-07T08:17:36.670-07:002011-04-07T08:17:36.670-07:00Good thoughts.
