    What do you think about allowing students watch movies instead of reading books?

    Greenlady5, I think you are right! Books first and movie after. Unfortunately, the story is almost always modified so that it is a more interesting story on camera and many details that are amazing in written format sometimes don't even make it to the movie!

    All Ages When Did You Discover You Loved Art

    I can't even remember when I didn't love art. I think my love for art developed as a way of connecting with my father. He is an artist and ever since I could hold a pencil I would sit next to him to draw, color, etc. And I think it was a self-esteem booster and my time to shine when I was in...
