I think this section is for all of us as educators to ignite some creativity and reach for big dreams. The rest of this book so far has me depressed with all the statistics and historical recap. I almost titled this section don't eat first... I really liked part 2 a lot and it got me almost missing school... almost. I keep thinking about what i will change about my speeches to classes over the course of the semester and what kinds of quotes and posters I could hang to remind me and enlighten them to the predicament we ALL are in. As I finish part three it does seem to let us all know that young, old and in between will have to adjust to help get us back on the path to prosperity... or at least even. ugh. Debt...inflation...taxes...global warming...I'm going back a hundred pages and read about how good other countries are at math again... i can handle that.
part 3 thoughts tomorrow bath time calls.
Ha ha to the posters. I've already searched from some new ones to add to my room that could emcompass the ideas expressed in the book.
ReplyDeleteI guess I may have to walk down the hall to Bonner's room for some of his inspirational speeches and decor :)
ReplyDeleteAll kidding aside, it is natural for us to read information like this and want to implement ideas that will shake out some of the cobwebs for the students who want to just “get by”.
