Helping to learn. You can't teach anyone something they don't want to learn. So all a teacher can do is help students to learn. They're the ones doing the learning. If there was a way to open their brains and pour the knowledge in, life might be easier, but maybe a little more boring. I've always worked at motivating my students, trying to find ways to make my lessons interesting, building

Starting over .... Starting over is something I do often. I do something for a while, then things happen, life goes on and on, the world turns, as the song says, and then I find that it's been a long time, a few months, a few years, quite a few years, and I decide to start over. I rode my first horse when I was seventeen, while I was living in Africa I had my own horse for a few years, then

A man dreamed that he was taken on a trip to the afterlife. First, he went to hell. There he saw a lot of people gathered around a large kettle. A delicious smell emanated from the kettle, it was full of a delectable stew. But everyone was starving and unhappy. You see, each person had a spoon attached to his hand, but the handle of the spoon was too long, and no one could put the spoon to

A gap year is a time out, a breather, a chance to recharge your batteries or to try out a different way of living and maybe a different way of learning. Students have many reasons for temporarily wishing to stop their studies. Sometimes they just want to hit the pause button. After years of studying hard and feeling the stress of exams that seem never-ending, some students just want to have a

Yes, I am on strike. I am on strike because it seems to be the only way I can protest the government's action in education. Where other governments are attacking the economic crisis by investing in education with more and better paid teachers, France is reducing the number of teachers, policemen and hospital personnel. Five years ago in our lycée we arranged for all the English classes in "

If you use your left brain more than your right brain, you are good at mathematics and very verbal. You act with logic and are well-organized. You understand grammar rules and enjoy doing excercises.If you use your right brain more, you are visual and creative. You hate grammar exercises because they seem pointless to you, but when you are in a foreign country, you quickly pick up the language

I'm forty-two years old. I live in London. My unique childhood memory is when one morning when I went to my high school, I saw nobody. Finding this strange, I went to look in the classrooms to see if there was somebody. In the room, I saw students held hostage by a man wearing a cowl and carrying a gun. It was in this way I discovered that the high school had been taken hostage by gangsters.

Men are paying a higher price in this recession than women. Perhaps that's fair.by Christopher CaldwellA week ago, President Obama touted a newly published report from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that showed the country had lost 247,000 jobs in July. It seemed an odd thing to boast about, but you have to consider the context. The economy was losing jobs at three times that clip

The problem: poor mountain families in China have to haul huge loads of firewood for their cooking stoves. The solution: a new type of stove that runs on straw and other crop waste -- first by heating them, then burning the resulting gas. And since Beijing Shenzhou Daxu Bio-energy Technology's $50 stove emits eight fewer tons a year of carbon dioxide than a coal stove does, the device is easing
