This may sound hokey but I think of “We Are The World” from oh so long ago. I got a lot from this chapter as well. Truth and Reconciliation are a cleansing process and this nation needs a heavy dose of the truth at this time in history.<br /><br />Great job breaking down the points raised in each chapter. You’ve written a nice summery of the last four practices of the book. Nice job!Wayne Brian Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03783096888429260986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871934522814227346.post-21925002903955556682011-04-24T16:27:44.285-07:002011-04-24T16:27:44.285-07:00Torrey,

I think if we do not do so… it is not worthy to read the book. <br />I am also glad you only have one student who makes you angry for me there three in the same classroom! But it also made me think of it as a positive way things are, and that I also need to work on it with a new vision. <br />I also like the quotes you cited, specially the one that says, “Your playing small doesn’t serve the world”… inviting us to give our best not you’re the minimum effort. God help us to keep transforming our lives and others.Sandra Noackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07392406732685880038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871934522814227346.post-28637204698678875132011-04-24T16:10:11.547-07:002011-04-24T16:10:11.547-07:00Well said!

He will change when he gets ready and/or cares about the importance of class. Work hard but not too hard to change him. I'd suggest that he is listening to your advice and it takes the culmination of previous advice, your advice and a little more advice from others and he will eventually get it. Little sparks can lead to bigger sparks and then change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2871934522814227346.post-90263880101996890312011-04-23T17:58:37.523-07:002011-04-23T17:58:37.523-07:00Torrey, your thorough thoughtfulness is evident in...Torrey, your thorough thoughtfulness is evident in this post, like it has been in everything I’ve seen you do throughout the course of this program. It is evident that you are practicing the art of possibilities in your teaching.

I try to remind myself frequently to be the board. When dealing with teenagers, winning against them only further alienates them and destroys the relationship with that student. I also find it helpful to remember the book's take on reality and perception as being self created. This helps me to diffuse any anger or frustration I feel when things are not done the way "I" think they should be.Melissa Lodhihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07302065328411366418noreply@blogger.com
