Listerine products never fail me in maintaining my healthy white teeth. These products also prevent me from developing tooth decays that can cause severe tooth ache. With these, I will remain loyal to Listerine. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.nurofen.com.au/pain/toothache-relief.php" rel="nofollow">toothache relief</a>Adele Simpsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00932495959402765272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-70146807943966846012012-05-10T19:47:47.478-06:002012-05-10T19:47:47.478-06:00There is no doubt that Listerine is a very effecti...There is no doubt that Listerine is a very effective mouthwash.

Arrives just as we (down under) receive out annual dose of propaganda from my kids schools on how wonderfully the top 10 kids did in the annual leaving exams - no doubt congratulations to their parents for tr genes they inherited and probably a decent dose of work - but no celebration for the one who did 2, 5, 10 etc ... Percent better than they had hoped - is that not worth celebrating ... While those that got 99.5 whine over a missed 0.1. <br /><br />And for all the rest who have played the game and spend so many years wasting on the learning vine ... Well I think the next day the surfs good I think we will be off to beach to learn about wave theory, moons and tides and just live life.

For the last few weeks, I've watched my students passively complete work that meant more to me than them, and after I collected the work, I realized that it contained very little evidence of real learning. Unfortunately, many of my students have been conditioned to complete mindless tasks; and when they're asked to think critically, metaphorically, etc., they shut down. What Krashen said is true--when there's pain, something is wrong.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-55991123603119386022011-09-15T05:33:30.728-06:002011-09-15T05:33:30.728-06:00I have my own private school (small - 4 kids), and...I have my own private school (small - 4 kids), and I have been having this conversation with myself this week after a particularly boring powerpoint on macromolecules, along with the realization that some of the kids have been rushing through the work to get it done (French work springs to mind). <br /><br />I left public school specifically because there was little room left for joy, and I have worked hard to NOT replicate that at HoneyFern. It does require effort and constant evaluation and reflection of what is going on in school. If it seems like all we are doing is checking off tasks, or the kids are slowing down or turning in shoddy work, then I look at the assignments, ask for input and/or let them re-design what they are doing.<br /><br />We did have a conversation about the fact that some parts of learning aren't thrilling (things like comma rules and macromolecules!!), but I did reassure them that I will do everything I can to help find the connection to real-life and application so they can at least understand why something is important, even if it isn't rainbows and butterflies while we are learning it.HoneyFernDotOrghttp://www.honeyfern.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-12549547715903888762011-09-12T17:53:23.930-06:002011-09-12T17:53:23.930-06:00I was definitely one who "played the game of ...I was definitely one who "played the game of school" - and played it well. I could say all the reading words with fluency and expression yet it didn't dawn on me that reading could be enjoyable or have a purpose beyond the workbook.<br /><br />For me, the following practices keep students from "playing school": <br /><br />(1) Increase the amount of student work time in comparison to teacher talk time. If I'm talking more than 7 minutes, students probably aren't retaining much anyway. Mike Schmoker (_Focus_) discusses solid instruction as being a little talk>student work time>teacher formative assessment as students work. Plan follow-up lessons based on patterns you see.<br /><br />(2) Teach students to make their own goals. "At the end of this work time, I will have accomplished..." and "What I'm working on as a writer/reader is..."<br /><br />(3) Once students have set goals for themselves, give large, solid blocks of work time.<br /><br />(4) Meet with individual students, giving specific feedback on what you see the student doing well and craft a specific teaching point based on the student's next step.<br /><br />(5) Make sure students understand why they are doing what they are doing. At the beginning of the year, students make videos for parent night. In the videos, students tell parents about classroom procedures and the reasons they do what they do. I love the a-ha of 10-year-olds when they realize there is a reason we do slate assessments in math most days, reasons we have mini-lessons before and after writing time, etc.<br /><br />Janet | expateducator.comJanet | expateducator.comhttp://expateducator.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-23531575442361470462011-09-12T05:34:57.107-06:002011-09-12T05:34:57.107-06:00The clarity you present here is like reading my ow...The clarity you present here is like reading my own thoughts! Both as a teacher and as a parent I am finding it more and more difficult to be involved in the factory model of school that forces children to attend because they have to rather than because they are engaged in learning that is meaningful, creative and inspiring. I hoped for so much more for my child!DebHogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09025375673044469425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-46681065819601782652011-09-11T18:00:49.109-06:002011-09-11T18:00:49.109-06:00Thids game theory of learning also explains why th...Thids game theory of learning also explains why the obsession for ' scores'.Allan Katzhttp://allankatz-parentingislearning.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2707703066300530859.post-7484093618696368042011-09-11T17:18:54.698-06:002011-09-11T17:18:54.698-06:00While it may be true that all learning cannot be f...While it may be true that all learning cannot be fun, it does not therefore follow that joyless indoctrination Is a more serious form of learning than the fun stuff. There are aspects of many necessary activities that annoy, frustrate, or bore us. We may have to learn to work through these moments (as they drag on and repeat themselves) but they are not the standard for learning.
