Yesterday, my eyeglass prescription ran out.
Teachers literally break down at the thought that if their students have a bad a test day, their job is on the line.
I hate to sound like an old fuddy duddy, but the game has changed.
Man, I wouldn't know where to begin on education reform, but one thing we have to do is add teacher accountability WITHOUT stressing standardized test scores.
Many people think you shouldn't stop kids from being kids, and I agree, but no one wants the worst case scenario on their hands. Better safe than sorry I say.
Never have one kid in the room with you, and avoid situations that would look suspect to a passerby.
I was taught from a young age that as a teacher, especially a male, you are to never be alone with a female, or even a male student.
Woody Allen, that was a dream come true, although I never really talked to him. Auditioning was fun, because you don't really hear much about the script. They just said, "They want a Woody Allen type," so of course I got the call.
Money buys everything except love, personality, freedom, immortality, silence, peace.
For it is not mere words that nourish the soul, but God Himself, and unless and until the hearers find God in personal experience they are not the better for having heard the truth.
I believe in tension and release, in that if you stay in the the same tone and mode and intensity for too long, it actually becomes monotonous. When you change up your pace or your humour level, then the release is welcome. . . I believe that's my biggest job: tone control, and maintaining enough unity so that it all feels like one movie and all the scenes belong together, and yet diversity so that emotional and narrative interest is maintained.
