Let's say you're a teacher. You have students. You teach classes. Your students learn stuff. That's about it, isn't it? Education is comprised of students, teachers, and material. When you're with your students, nothing else exists. You make your own world. You go where the moment takes you. You learn things (remember, teaching is learning) unexpectedly, by tangent. It's a creative process, constantly changing, evolving, morphing into something new. If you're a teacher-is this an approximation of what you do? If so, then how do you feel when the "standards" thing comes in? How does your world react to the intruder? Are you a "reluctant standard bearer", like Jim Carabell in his FOB article? If so, have you come to a state of peaceful co-existence with standards, like Jim has? What does that state look like? Do you hate standards? Why? What does that state look like? rs ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
