Teaching Observation:
During one of my substitute teaching assignments I had a pleasant conversation with a teacher about managing the behavior of the students and helping them focus on their school work. Paraphrasing the teacher she said,
“If we could only get the students to stop harping about the activities of each other; get them to stop the senseless bickering among themselves; get them focus on their own behavior and work, then they would all be doing fine…”
My immediate thought was, if someone can figure that out, then we can send her/him to Washington D.C., or any state capital, to get our government officials to work together responsibly and to do the work that needs to be accomplished.
Put another way, from my observations of behavior in our elementary schools, it seems to me the behavior that is reported out of Washington D.C. is about on the level of fourth graders. I wonder if anyone has done a study on the behavior of politicians; perhaps my observation is true, to get elected and work in government you need to be in the behavioral development stage of a first grader. Just saying….
What is there to say about me? I am not sure if I am typical or not, average or not, smart or not, BUT I think I definitely have a sense of humor. I am an aging baby boomer wondering if I have something to say about the world as I see it.
