Now We'Re Talking

Some call it an interruption I see it as a great opportunity Some call it a dumb question I see that it masks a brilliant inquiry Some call it a discipline problem I see a butterfly emerging from its cocoon Some call my classroom boring I see and say it's so boring it's ridiculous I have better things to do with my time, and with their time Than to force these young mind into artificial environments of dull Here's to mandatory nature walks, tent-pitching, berry-picking Latrine digging, campfires, marshmallow roasts and ghost stories And not to neglect timepiece, transistor radio, long-nose rifle electrical circuit, and motor assembly and disassembly--and woodworking* Now we're talking Education Now we're talking Creation, Imagination *So much I left out, including: Cooking, Painting, Fashion Design, Architecture, Basic Engineering,... Let us do what we can; the kids'll do the rest! ~ gw
