Last night's conversation at bedtime: My son: "Mami, I think that keeping a diary is making me a better person." Me: "Oh? How's that?" My son: "Well, I'm not on screens as much." Yes on both counts. I wondered if the fact that I'm slicing every night has anything to do with his sudden interest in keeping a diary? Either way, there's nothing to add. Writing, of any kind, does make us better people. I couldn't have said it better myself. Cross posted to March Slice of Life Challenge, Day #18 .
This blog is a place to ruminate on the problems of teaching. If I am thinking thoughtfully, my posts will hopefully raise more questions than answers. By problematizing teaching we reflect on those questions that are constantly behind, in front, and at center of everything we do in the classroom. Feel free to comment. I'd love to hear what other teachers are thinking about on these and other issues. Cheers! Elisa
