It only took me three minutes to figure out how to make a new post on my new blog. Luckily nobody was watching. Why does that difficulty feel so much larger than being confused for three piddly minutes? Why does it make me wonder if I should even bother doing this? Ooh, kids must feel this all the time as they learn about the great big world. Do we give them credit for the struggle they endure every day while they are in the steep learning curve stage of life? Better I should ask if we can understand what it might be like in their shoes at any given moment. I just listened to a PBS Forum Network lecture by Rafe Esquith (author of "Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire") where he states as one way to be a good teacher is to always consider the point of view of the child. To do this a teacher must be able to see others' points of view as a matter of her every day living. A useful skill indeed.
Okay, so following the rules of my blog (there are no rules and I can be as useful or airy as I like), I am getting back to other work and leaving my comment at that. So much more to say, but you will have to use your imagination for now.
