My favorite teacher
It was the beginning of school year in 1971. I was one of thirty children in Mrs. Judson's fourth grade class. Mrs. Judson was a middle aged black woman. She had heard all of the stories of me coming to school battered and bruised. She, like my previous teachers was under orders to send me to the principals office with any new bruise or injury.

Philosophical Innovation
Philosophical reasoning has been part of human society since the beginning of time. Why do we think the way we do? What triggers our actions, and why do we perceive the world the way we do?

Effective Practice After Violin Lessons
Learning to play the violin requires long hours of training. Every violin student understands this. The total practice you put in after your violin lessons equals how great a violinist you can become. Violin teachers also urge their students to practice as much as possible. This is because the amount of practice you do after your violin lessons Singapore would never be enough. It doesn't matter the number of hours you put into practice, you would still feel like something is missing. But again, spending every minute practising would not make you a professional instantly.

The Lobotomy of Postmodern Public Education
Sheesh, right? Before you get your torches and pitchforks, let me qualify myself for a minute…. Independent educator and administrator (8 years). Tutor (18 years). Geneticist (15 years). Mentor (20 years). But yeah, none of the M.Ed.’s and Ed.D.’s. I’m not against those folks; in fact, some of those alphabet soup folks are my favorite people ever. But they’re going against the grain, and I’m going to tell you why.

Learning to Survive and Thrive in Vietnamese Public School
Four years of teaching in Vietnamese public schools and I’m still hooked. The journey is a teeming mess of thousands of motorbikes twisting their way through this frenetic city. The heat is already rising. Exhausts blast in my face and onto my clothes and my eardrums are bombarded with a cacophony of beeping horns. By the time I get to school I smell motorbike fumes and fresh sweat.

Lessons Learnt As A Teacher
1. You spend more time learning rather than teaching. This is absolutely true. Most of the times, the children either come up with such creative ideas that you must test them or out of box thinking that changes your perception.
