Word of the day
In the Bible, scholars have noted certain passages as watershed passages. These passages are passages that seems very boring or repetitive. But right after these passages, there is usually something very profound or exciting. I belive life can sometimes give us watershed experiences. Times in our life when things are not going well. Times where things are difficult, boring, or seemingly redundant. But then bang! Something exciting is just around the corner. If you are in a difficult time right now - hold on. God may be sending you something you never expected - it is just around the corner.
What's up
Today I was able to spray the parking lot for weeds - talk about a boring and redundant experience! Elena and I will be going on a date to Amarillo tomorrow night! I am looking forward to the weekend as I know God will be answering prayers on Sunday!
About Me
- Ben Ceyanes
- I believe that the reason many students fail is because they simply do not see the point of learning. We teach students a lot of information, but they want to know WHY they need to know it. The biggest challenge to teachers this age is to show how the information applies to everyday life. The student can and will learn something if they know why they need to know it. The days of "you need to learn this because I say so" or more recently "you need to learn this because the state says so" are over. I always try to make the information relevant and interesting when I can. They need to know how important math can be in thier lives. I believe that teachers need to begin to work together to overcome the immense task that is before us. Team teaching, collaborative work, and sharing lessons are essential to our success. Just as businesses have weekly meetings, retreats, and team concepts, so must we. Students want to learn. But they want to learn useful information, not just stuff. If we will reach out and let them grow, they will.
