What We Used to Be
The questions about our loss
When did we lose what we used to be?
Was it when you were away from me?
Was it when I changed becauase I was alone?
Was it when neither of us had a home?
Where did we lose what we used to be?
Was it where we lost all that we had materialistically?
Was it where we had made memories that faded out?
Was it where we were home without a doubt?
How did we lose what we used to be?
Was it by wanting everything we did see?
Was it by ingratitude or insensitivity?
Was it by acting so carelessly?
Why did we lose what we used to be?
Was it because you were as stubborn as me?
Was it because I simply couldn't understand
that there is a difference between a woman and a man?

Teacher Lesson Plan 2: Creativity and Evolution
Reading books and watching documentaries is the typical and classical approach to education in regular school houses or institutions; However, some of the Montessori philosophies and principles can be applied to Secondary Education levels without too much disruption to the "normal" sit down and don't cause chaos idea. Regardless if you are in a classroom with children or pre-teens, or if you're trying to see if Geometry can compete with Instagram or some teenager's raging hormones, you should remember this: Students love learning and enjoy learning when it is FUN. Some of the smartest students in the classroom may not participate or engage in lessons because they either already know the information or it simply doesn't challenge them enough to be interesting or worthy of their attention. FUN defies those factors. When a lesson or activity is FUN, the students don't mind if they already know, and they forget they weren't interested because FUN made it interesting. Not all teachers are FUN. As a matter of fact, most of the teachers I had the pleasure of learning from had a serious lack of humor. I think before I graduated, most of the teachers I learned from had to take a class in "How Not to Be Fun" and they all aced it.
