Student teaching/Methods in the public school systems I found some of the policies to be quite stupid. It was just as rediculous as what is posted in this article. Yet.. they are taken so seriously.
Yes, true. BUT... how most are taught (in a general sense) about Christianity is made very basic... and rather dull. I suppose it is just easier to say "THE" than to say "A".... I feel maybe it would confuse the general public *smirks* By the way thanks... I like the title also... ;)
Thank you. I still would love to become a prof some day, but never would I be able to teach in the public schools. I feel (and have been told) that my teaching style is too un-orthodox and would eventually land me in some hot water.
I actually stumbled across this article when doing research for a Cultural Diversity in Education class a few years ago. I have to say it is one of my faves for several reason. I feel you have all made valuble points.
If you haven't read Peggy McIntosh's "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack" I highly suggest it (Link Below). To understand what race means or its implications, most are pretty much oblivious to it. Race, to a young child, usually means gathering a group of children together and running on foot. When the word becomes more familiar, in the “adult” context, eyebrows begin to rise at the thought of being called Racist. In "White Privilege: Unpacking the Invisible Knapsack"
I have been "into" these novellas. I enjoy reading , especially about religion, but I cannot find time ....that is where novellas have come in. I just finished "Siddhartha" for the second time. Although it has been years since I have read it in the first place I am glad I did. Since becoming more into studying religion it has made the book more enjoyable. Still questions remain... I suppose that leads to more research....... • Even though the novel is formally divided into two parts,

The argument over personal beliefs as compared to what is considered the standard norm has an interesting side effect of prompting serious discussion over nature of Christianity, but also the character of any religion. Should religion become accustomed to changing social circumstances or should it force people to alter themselves and the society to "eternal" what we consider religious values? This forces us to consider two different conceptions of what religion is. On the one hand we have f
The best kind of plot is tragic according to Aristotle, in that it provides the best option of delivering tragic pleasure. In his Poetics he states two different plot types: simple and complex. Aristotle says the complex plot has two other features that go along with it: reversal and recognition. It is these, which set up, and in that provides the best possibility for finding pleasure in tragedy. Here is a definition of Aristotle’s complex action: ‘A complex action is one where the chang
My conclusion from studies in Education...... In general, the concept of Zero Tolerance is not a bad idea depending how it is enforced and to what extreme. Let us say two children were fighting at school, in this case, it does not matter which child was the aggressor and which was defending himself due to “zero tolerance”. Rule being: since they were both fighting, therefore they are both suspended. In sense what does this teach children about basic law enforcement? Or consequen
How can one mistake an artwork for a real object? Asking how one can mistake Rauschenberg’s beds for real one, instead of artworks, is equivalent to asking what makes them artworks? The same question can be posed when discussing Warhol’s Brillo Boxes. If a certain theory makes a difference between a Brillo Box and a work of art containing one, then to Danto, Warhol’s piece is Art. But according to Tolstoy’s Three Conditions, which govern how infectious art will be, and the absence of any con
True- Although the site where I got these images from is a joke on religion, the satire expressed in insane... at times almost offensive.
as always... ;)
On holidays my family likes to get together and talk about funny/ stupid things we have all done in our lives. From the cute baby stories to the time when Grandma climbed the fence, in heels, drunk as my mother watched as a little girl in the 60s. All the grandchildren in my family are older now ranging from 25-17. During one of our many reflecting periods, on Christmas, my Grandma begins to talk about when she was young. Now my grandma is a funny lady with many hilarious stories. I
--19, May-- I bought a jar of Miracle Whip (light) today, or should I say tonight, this evening-- whatever- its beside the point. The point is- It's odd- Whenever I think of, or come into contact with certain things I think of people. Like Miracle Whip. I think of my High School friend Colie. She was (or still is- I would believe) a larger girl. One of her favorite things to eat was pretzels and Miracle Whip Sandwiches. Rather bizarre- but I put applesauce on just about e
These are all insightful. Thanks all... you have satisfied my curiousity behind peoples screen names. Keep 'em coming.. it is interesting to know a little about everyone. Illartist- There is a hidden side behind every artist. Usually artists tell about themselves through their work wheather it be in writing, visual, or music. I chose "ill" as a prefix describing the twisted side of my work.
Yesterday I thought I would make a plaster mold of a sphere so I can create Udus (african drum) at a faster (and thinner) rate by slip casting. Now, making plaster molds is something I am not unfamilar with. I use them in many aspects of my work from glass to metal casting. So there I am making dumping plaster into the form. Now, to make a 2 part mold you have your form surrounded by wood held together with C-clamps. So I begin dumping the thick white-goo around the sphere stopping at
After a set of harsh critiques a few weeks ago I am getting ready to begin my final semester of undergrad. I said to myself to go into it "like a porn-star". Meaning: I may not like what I will be doing but satisfy the boss-- At least there will be a reward in the end. Over the past few weeks I have been evaluating myself as an artist. I remember after a painting critique a few years back my professor said something I'll never forget. I still ponder it today... He said:
So, I read my e-mail today and I recieve a little note from one of our fellow bloggers. He says I should get back to writting in this thing. Alright Jeremy for you I'll make a few interesting entries to sitmulate your brain (and the rest of you bloggers too). Also check out the URL below.... it has some purty sweet thoughts.
Fugmulch... If I were to pick it apart I would assume this- Fug- "Fugly".... f-ing ugly Mulch- The crap you put in your yard. fugmulch= really ugly landscape product meaning (assuming) you are involved in landscaping... :-p
I don't know if there are any requirments. In fact I don't believe there are any at all. I suppose it is the song that best describes you,another person, a dog, etc. If you randomly were walking down the street what would be the music you would hear in the background?
YES THESE ARE REAL! <img src="/cp/img/spacer.gif" width="1" height="6" alt="" border="
Thanks OP... I'll call the newspaper. ;-)
I don't care much for her music either. But I take joy in laughing at others stupidity.
LMFAO! Mmm.. if you say so ;-)
