Part of the problem with the educational system is that we want it to be linear and standardized. And sometimes fear on everyone's part can paralyze us.Mark Crottynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129899644952196274.post-13548124598060601902010-11-15T13:57:49.636-06:002010-11-15T13:57:49.636-06:00Christina, both your comments remind me of the vir...Christina, both your comments remind me of the virtuous cycle in that you could be addressing any point in the educational process. Take the idea of hope as the fuel. I agree completely with what you say, in that great education should make one feel hopeful. But teachers must have a great sense of hope to keep on doing what they do, to see the possibilities. If they do, then a student may. Similarly, teachers need those qualities and can model them for their students, who can then develop them as they mature.Mark Crottynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129899644952196274.post-57994509242559276552010-11-14T15:38:21.912-06:002010-11-14T15:38:21.912-06:00color outside the lines.color outside the lines.pamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7129899644952196274.post-20871221326008306962010-11-13T23:20:07.001-06:002010-11-13T23:20:07.001-06:00You know, I'm not so sure that endless hope fu...You know, I'm not so sure that endless hope fuels great education. I know that it fuels continual change in education. (smile) I think it is the other way around. Great education fuels endless hope.
