The Spirit of Wisdom (Part 2)
In our mission to reshape the American education system we must eventually meet a key roadblock restricting the students in our nation. The fact that the sheer amount of young people that must be attended to is more than can be expected of any school. This harsh reality bleeds into school policy, necessitating the control of kids just to have a peaceful environment just to have the possibility to learn.

Pondering Art Making
In my Master's program we often discuss the importance of the process of making art. The conversation always seems to veer to the point that children in schools are often directed to churning out product after product. They don't really get the opportunity to simply experience the materials they are working with.

Your Guide to Surviving Finals
Coffee Use coffee as your reward for getting up in the morning. Use it as your reward for going to class. Use some decaf to help you wind down after a long day of studying. And use it as a treat after you finish an exam. You deserve it.

Closing Time
Ah, the end of the semester! As a "seasoned" professor with over 25 years experience working in the higher education industrial complex, this is always the busiest, most hectic, most stressful time of the year—both for college students and for their instructors. Though I'm far removed from that scene personally, I always like to draw the comparison to closing time at the bar....bringing to mind some wisdom from the classic song, "Closing Time," that is now—wow!—two decades old from the group, Semisonic:

What Are We Teaching Our Children
No doubt education is important—it's the difference between giving yourself choices in life or being tied down to a particular type of work. But what kind of education is required to breed success? Is the education we are providing for our children equipping them with the necessary tools to survive in the real world, a world without the protective wall of parents to fall back on? No, it doesn't.

The Introvert's Struggle
As an introverted person, I have often been told by my parents or teachers or relatives or anyone who has anything to say, I am too shy and need to talk more to more people. That is, however, completely against my nature. This is like telling a child with ADHD to simply sit still and pay attention. It is contradictory to the person I am. It takes time for me to warm up to people and I am often uncomfortable with public speaking. That's why coming to college was scary and definitely a challenge for me. I was afraid I was not going to make any friends because I was too quiet to talk to anyone. But what terrified me the most was my Communications 101 class. This meant public speaking, something I have shied away from as much as possible. When the time came to give a speech longer than five minutes, I spoke too quickly, was shaky, and continually looked at my note cards for reference to be sure I would not forget anything. When my grade came back for that first speech, I found I had done pretty well, except my professor had marked me down for "looking nervous." I was horrified and it gave me that stark realization that I had much to improve on in my public speaking. Throughout the semester, I have gotten better at public speaking purely through practice, but there are other things that can help.

Classroom Schooling vs. Online Education. Top Story - November 2018.
Just a couple of decades ago, online education was a concept hardly imaginable to many. Most of those who are in their 30s and above spent a great deal of their childhood at school, attending classes while sitting in front of the good old chalkboard. Nowadays, things are not that simple. Distance education, better known as online learning started a revolution in the schooling system. The 21st century offers us numerous possibilities for learning, inside and outside the classroom, for both children and adults.

Principal or Bully?
I thought I was sending my daughter to a good school. One where she would be safe and have fun...I was wrong! My daughter is 11 years old now and in the fifth grade. She goes to a school where I thought she would make friends, have fun, learn something, and of course feel safe when her world was already crashing down on her.

Banalization
It’s a manipulation. Children are supposed to believe that things will always end perfectly and that even when things are bad they could be worst, to make one believe that their situation isn’t bad at all. This type of thinking makes issues appear meaningless and futile.

Teachers Who Care
In elementary school, I was always a bit slower than everyone else. I was the dopey kid who needed extra tutoring, a little more examples, and time to sit down and understand the material. This didn't stop with elementary school, and I carried this through middle and high-school.
