I don&#39;t know whether it&#39;s just my area, but I&#39;ve noticed a lot of teachers don&#39;t seem to care anymore.

Very clean, very professional.<br /><br />I&#39;m also glad to see this new direction for your writing. One of the greatest things about being a teacher is being able to play a small part in helping develop our pupils&#39; potential, one of the worst things is not knowing what happens to that potential... hopefully I/we can keep following your progress here! ;) <i>(Hint, hint!)</i><br /><br />Although it was a few years ago, I remember going through the phase you are describing. I used to get back from an early afternoon tutorial and find I had to have a quick nap... on one memorable occasion, I woke up completely disorientated because it was getting dark and I couldn&#39;t work out whether it was 7 at night or 7 in the morning...<br /><br />As you&#39;ve kind of hinted at, university is one of the few times in your life when you can concentrate solely on learning for learning&#39;s sake... and yet this has to be balanced with learning to be a &#39;real&#39; grown-up... still, nobody ever said life would be easy — fun, yes! Easy, no!<br /><br />It&#39;s good to read about the music you are playing and/or rehearsing. It helps remind me that school plays only the first steps on what is, for you, a long and ever-changing journey. We give you the basics, then send you off to play... folk!?! (Remember, I&#39;m a folk singer too... or at least, when I get up to sing, people go &quot;Oh folk, it&#39;s him again!&quot;.<br /><br />Now go, rehearse, improve, relax, and make time for the important things. Remember, we&#39;ll be here to support and cajole when you need it. In this connected world I&#39;m beginning to realise that school doesn&#39;t really end when you leave!<br /><br />Take care, man!Neil Wintonhttp://nwinton.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-43549228325676900622010-03-14T21:16:59.537Z2010-03-14T21:16:59.537Z&quot;The persecuted bubblewrap generation&quot; brilliant!Joel T Johnsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440966853909808030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-65471483715242750272010-02-05T13:36:39.017Z2010-02-05T13:36:39.017ZHey great post, I think you should Post more articles like these, I enjoy reading like this.venuhttp://www.a2zcolleges.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-91658008274366146572010-02-05T13:35:07.843Z2010-02-05T13:35:07.843ZHey great post, I think you should Post more articles like these, I enjoy reading like this.venuhttp://www.a2zcolleges.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-16931932218359061452009-06-16T21:54:16.639Z2009-06-16T21:54:16.639ZHey great post, I think you should deffo do more like these, I enjoy reading shizz like this.playbasshttp://www.play-bass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-22602878203365386012009-02-25T11:24:00.000Z2009-02-25T11:24:00.000Zhttp://keunwha10.wordpress.com/2009/02/15/day-off/<BR/><BR/>also check this blog post.

Competition is minimal and therefore there is no evolution, right?<BR/><BR/>But then we'll have to figure out the "rubric" for creativity and innovation to judge and assess the creativity and innovation, and how can we clearly tell one way is more creative than other when both are creative? I guess we need to make that solid. <BR/><BR/>Or if we get most of major colleges to change their admission policy so students will get more creative (heard colleges tend to value standarized test scores less than before) then schools on the lower hierarchy will naturally change because school's business depends on how many students they send to ivyleague. in america. <BR/><BR/>-soojinSoojinhttp://rakastaamusic.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-50485932975770956012009-02-25T01:08:00.000Z2009-02-25T01:08:00.000ZI totally agree with you. But the thing is we still, even in what some call an "advanced" and "innovative" world, cling to our traditions. I think it's a human convention. I mean, your idea is brilliant, but that requires such a drastic makeover that the moderates will freak and say "No way" because change isn't wanted. <BR/>If you look at the way certain parts of the world, or human interactions, work, you'll see that we simply cannot let go of the education system that has evolved over the last two hundred years. We need to (I strongly support your idea) but unfortunately, that means change, and no one seems to like that.Kaelie Curbxstomphttp://rebellatrix.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-63799803467822152542009-02-17T20:31:00.000Z2009-02-17T20:31:00.000ZVery nice post! Creativity is a dying trait and we need people in this world to let our youth understand the creativity is whats most important to let culture thrive! It is time for a new cultural revolution which will break the gears cranking to produce nothing more than copies of college professors or lawyers or doctors and so on. Those things are needed but so is creativity and culture and its time to glorify it. Let the revolution begin!Yarlzhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05880230381830825957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-20028907609025680592009-02-17T20:28:00.000Z2009-02-17T20:28:00.000ZThis comment has been removed by the author.fL3shkR33phttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05880230381830825957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-41670642248255248862009-01-16T20:10:00.000Z2009-01-16T20:10:00.000ZVery nice post. While I take your point that the education system does not cater to the artists, poets, et al., it's really not supposed to.<BR/><BR/><I>"Don’t get me wrong, we need the people in offices to do the things that keep our public services running and our economy going, but we also need the people who create, invent, and change things."</I><BR/><BR/>Society needs quite a lot more of the former than of the latter to maintain itself. That's what the system is intended to produce. <BR/><BR/>Exceptionally creative people are like an oak tree sprouting in a cornfield - the odds of it surviving years of harvest (e.g. years of standardized education) without getting chopped down are slim, but if it does, its unique character will become obvious.Stevehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07272178513312179104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-3907234449947226052008-10-26T17:44:00.000Z2008-10-26T17:44:00.000ZThe Apple "Think Different" comment reminded me how great their commercials use to be.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Great post!Tucson Bass Playerhttp://bassplayermusic.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-60251213676007380042008-08-18T05:27:00.000Z2008-08-18T05:27:00.000ZSean posting a question in youtube channel a great chance for the people.Now a days internet technology is becoming a part of human beings, so this method is very well useful.Just keep it up<BR/>==================================<BR/>George Kevin<BR/><A HREF="https://www.conquiztador.com/?a=26041" REL="nofollow">Trivia Game Challenge</A>GEORGEhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09567660371630950900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-50453461102218122712008-08-17T10:22:00.000Z2008-08-17T10:22:00.000Zthank you all for your comments, I appericiate them a lot.<BR/><BR/>Sebastiano, I am grateful for yours in particular!

Stevens once told me, "You gotta know the rules, if you wanna break them." That is my motto ever since. I think people need to know the theory, they need to know why certain things are the way they are, and once they <I>know </I> they need to think outside the box and be creative. <BR/>The great masters of jazz use to tell their pupils to copy the cats, and once they achieve a high level they should take what they learnt and make it theirs. Meaning, learn the rules, then break them and create <B>your own</B> rules.<BR/>That is how change happens.Sebastiano Mereuhttp://www.sebinomics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-79678833012268757512008-08-09T18:39:00.000Z2008-08-09T18:39:00.000ZI think the fact is that in the smallest parts of our society, even the offices where people, as you say, run our public services, the necessity to think in unconventional ways is being recognized as more and more necessary today. Afterall, continuing to do something in the exact same way that it has always been done without realizing why is usually a recipe for disaster. When change occurs, even on the most incremental level, these people will be unable to handle it and completely inequipped to help society evolve to meet new challenges. Perhaps one of the major reasons educational institutions continue to produce people who seem unable to fit the changing social and economic landscape is that many educational systems seem to be having the greatest trouble of all evolving their own programs to meet these challenges.Shawnhttp://www.postranger.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-74474481612467830922008-08-09T04:13:00.000Z2008-08-09T04:13:00.000ZI have to admit that I am enamored by the way you have chosen to express yourself in this blog entry. Your words are reflective of what many teachers, students, and parents think about our current system and the direction that we would like to see it take. It may take some time, but if we allow our voices to be heard the changes will come, even if it is only one classroom at a time.mindeleihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18064067050363016181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34514931.post-86111472419192030462008-08-07T22:00:00.000Z2008-08-07T22:00:00.000ZWhat an awesome post!
