I've always preferred physical books. Sure there are many sites where you could find and read virtually any book online as long as you've paid a subscription fee but since I'm not always on the net I have to read physical books. And as I live near a library, I still have access to as many books...

The Picture of Dorian Gray To Kill a Mockingbird The Count of Monte Cristo Jane Eyre The Boy In Striped Pajamas The books were well-written and quite deep. There are many lessons an open-minded person could learn from them. Knowledge they could find to be practically useful. I'd even say they...

My favorite history teacher was a Mr Isaac. He made history lessons fun because he'd loved history, had read lots of history books and more. He had details about events which happened a long time ago. Details which weren't in the books. Yeah at times he did make up stories but that didn't...

Teachers should focus on one or the other but the differences between American and British spelling should be taught so when the time comes and students students won't have a problem using either American or British spelling. But it shouldn't matter that much that much anymore because with spell...

Learning about religion doesn't make someone a good person. Look at all the hypocrites who go to church every Sunday or Sunday. Fact is religion did and still does have a huge impact not only in history but also on current events. How would people know why jihadis are willing to kill innocent...

Learning about another religion should be a fun activity for students who either aren't followers of that religion. Take as an example Islam and Christianity. Muslims and Christians are both followers of Abrahamic religions and though there are some irreconcilable differences most of the things...

Religion isn't an unnecessary subject. Fact is over 60% of people in the world are "religious" to some degree. Students should for that reason learn about religion so they won't inadvertently offend someone who subscribes to a certain religion they know nothing about. Same way some people are...

Our computers still run Windows 7. We've been considering upgrading to Windows 10 but are yet to make that move. What could be better though is using virtualization software so more than one operating system can be installed on one machine. This way, students can at least learn how to use...

Arm the students with the basics. That should be the first step. Then once they've mastered the basics, you could give them more time to explore the tech themselves. You see without some input and lots of guidance from the teacher, there's little the students can learn on their own because even...

Whether students should watch movies first before reading the books they are adapted from is sort of a chicken and egg question IMHO. Watching a movie before reading the book could pique the students interest too. Maybe they'll want more details about the story. I know there are times I've...

I don't think speaking English with an accent should be considered a huge problem. The purpose of learning a language is to use it for communication and that should be the primary focus when teaching English as a foreign language. As there are numerous English accents, there's no telling which...

It's hard to tell. If people play music then you are listening to it. So maybe I'll talk about when I started to actually turn on a radio with the express purpose of listening to music. That would be at after eight grade. I was about 12 then, can't remember right.

I don't see why people make such a big fuss about breasts. I'm the kind of man you'd call 'traditional' but come on, why do women have breasts? To breast-feed kids. If the size is OK for the kid as long as they get their momma's milk then any size is OK. If men think breasts are there for them...

Hi guys, Who says there's an end to education? I'm currently studying philosophy on the side but I love working with kids best. It's my firm belief that with a solid foundation kids can actually be the people who'll help transform the world into a better place. Anyway, I'm glad to be here and...
