Who has told you
that learning must be boring?
Why do you think
you cannot learn from listening to others?
When did you lose
your natural creativity and curiosity?
Where will you go
if you’re not embracing opportunities here?
What hope is there for you
if you are so jaded so young?
In this place,
we believe that skills and abilities are more important
than out of date information.
We believe learning is more meaningful when
students ask their own questions and explore their own curiosity.
We believe you have potential to discover
far beyond yourself,
but you never will, if you don’t open your eyes to the world
beyond your nose.

Well-written with a bit of great advice as well. Loved this.
Thank you.
Learning, when done in one’s own style, is never boring.
I teach in an innovative high school piloting a phenomenal methodology that offers a lot for kids, but it also requires them to THINK. They don’t get spoon fed answers (or questions, quite frequently). There are a few who beg for baby mush. They don’t want to used their brains at all. They are oh. so. frustrating.
The last four lines say it all. I still have hope, but I’m getting nervous…

Reminds me of the quote attributed to Socrates: http://www.bartleby.com/73/195.html
Lol Yes. Seems ‘the end’ has been a long time coming…
