Libertas Continued

"What do with the mad that you feel, when you feel so mad you could bite. When the whole wide world seems oh so wrong, and noting you do seems very right. What do you do? Do you punch a bag? Do you pound some clay or some dough? Do you round up friends for a game of tag, or see how fast you go? It's great to be able to be able to STOP, when you've planed a thing that's wrong, and be able to do something else instead, and think this song. I can stop when I want to, can stop when I wish, can stop, stop, stop any time. And what a good feeling to feel like this, and know that the feeling is really mine, know that there's something deep inside, that helps us become what we can. For a girl can be someday a Lady, and a boy can be someday a Man." - MR RODGERS

Assign the lectures as homework, and do the homework in the classroom. Pause, work at your own pace. Stay on that bicycle, experiment, failure is OK. Reward success, don't penalize failure. Allow students to COOPERATE, and you will see that your 'slow' students are just as smart as the 'gifted' kids. But expect mastery. Watch this video twice. Build a Global, One World Classroom.
