gosh - if we only realized....the things we are asking for are in the room with us. free to us. being wasted on and adding to triteness.
take a look at this post, especially the comments from ira socol.
i keep hearing november - ....who owns the learning...
funny - the more we give it up - how the trite conversations on their phones diminish. they become too busy using it to learn.
respectfully - notice - when we don't give it up - how trite our battles are.
gosh - if we could only listen to students more. it's not about them being disrespectful, it's about them being disengaged.
