The Inspiration of a Mother
We all become teachers for the same reason. Someone, somewhere along the line, has inspired us in a profound way. They changed our lives, and in doing so, they instilled in us a desire to make a difference in someone else's life. They have made us who we are today.For Andrew Miller and Shannon Dipple, there is one person in particular who has inspired them throughout the years - one person who has been their strength, their support, and the source of their passion. One person they attribute all their success as teachers, and as human beings, too. The one person they call"Mom."

Have We Childproofed Education?
By Dr. Brad Johnson & Tammy McElroy
Learning is an important characteristic of human behavior. Think of how babies crawl on the floor looking for objects, which then go directly into their mouths. At first glance you would think the baby is hungry, or, as Freud thought, there is an oral fixation. In reality, the baby is actively exploring and learning. Their learning is active and experiential.
However, adults often hamper this inquisitive nature of children. What is the first thing a young couple does when having a baby? They "baby proof" their homes. Basically, they want the child to sit still in one place all day, so he doesn't harm...
