Re: Nothing to forgive...

Oh Terry, there's nothing to forgive. I'm just very
appreciative of this board and wanted to get it going again,
but either the book or the way I led it didn't inspire. I'm
hoping it was the book! If you are interested in the
discussion, however, please scroll down to August to
September. It wasn't my favorite book, but it did inspire me
to re-look at some things in my classroom and it validated some
techniques that I was using. Some techniques had a specific
appropriate time and place to use them and I felt they would
fail miserably if not used correctly. Some people involved in
the discussion might have felt the techniques were too
simplistic or too "recipe-like" and others thought they had no
place in a "student-centered" classroom. I'm just not one to
see any book or idea as all or nothing. I always try to find
something that is helpful to me.

I'm on to this new book that my husband keeps prodding me to
read. It has a great quote that has me really
thinking: "Memory is the residue of thought."

The book is written by a cognitive scientist and so far, is
really interesting!
