A New Learning Opportunity

A New Learning Opportunity

Well I'm really happy that Mr. Fisch has a new learning opportunity and i think its kinda funny that he's still doing pretty much the same thing he was doing before and it made me think that if your used to one system of doing things how will our body except doing something completely different like not having a schedule just doing anything and I concluded that we need schedules and systems not because we're lost but the feeling of belonging and being acknowledged that your there we like we need to be reminded that we exist. You probably saw a cartoon or show that had an episode about a person being shunned or the silent treatment and after a while the person starts freaking out and thinking that they died or something think of the utter confusion in their mind if they can feel and touch and move, do you or can you still exist when you aren't acknowledged. Think about it for yourself do you exist if your never noticed. What a perfectly happy conundrum.

soldier for the right

http://www.rockymountainnews.com/news/2008/sep/15/soldier-for-the-right/?partner=RSS

I read "Soldier for the Right" by James B. Meadow from the Rocky Mountain News and its pretty much about an ex soldier who now works at CU and is actually conservative. I was happy to read that we actually have a conservative professor at CU the students there are constantly bombarded with liberal beliefs and that's the reason that most young people are liberal and I lean to the left even. Its a way of politically corrupting the universities. I know that the teachers don't like to influence their students but they are, if they're successful some students may, subconsciously, believe that if they're liberal they'll do better in life. We need more conservative teachers so that they will get both sides of the spectrum, causing controversy in the head of the students, and when you have controversy or competition it improves your decision so the student will in turn learn more than they would if they had only liberal teachers.

5

The post named 5 by Mr. Fisch has one of my favorite quotes in it but its worded differently. Its by Benjamin Franklin and goes "those who would give up a little humility for a little security diserve neither and lose both." What that and the the three other quotes are saying is, being aloud to put in your own thoughts is better than being safe. So I now know yet another thing our government was based off of. Which made me relize when you don't contribute to the classroom your only hurting yourself instead of saving you the embarrasment. Which brings me to the thought that the classroom is more like a democracy than most people think, the teacher is the president of coarce but the "good" kids are like politicians and the normal kids are the people and the "bad" kids are like criminals. If we want to change something in the classroom the normal kids would go to the good kids and see if its good then the idea is passed to the teacher who dicides whether its good or bad. Its like making a bill a law or something along those lines, you just need to use the right words in the proper format. The only difference is that we can't impeach the teacher and go behind your back
