Lesson of the Day:
1) Fate is unavoidable no matter how hard you try to escape from it (From Greek Myth Perseus) 2) Differences among cultures in different schools is simply a mirror of the widening gap between the rich and the poor. 3) Somehow the lack of sentimental touches eroded by work is a milestone to mold relationships in a brand-new way.
** Reading bi-weekly journals written by Grade 7 monsters has been one of the most pleasurable moments since I landed my job here.
It was the first time I didn't fix a topic, giving them the chance to write whatever they want in their journals.
It turns out that they write much better and much more when they can enjoy such freedom of expression.
Some childish, some fun, some silly, some exceptionally brilliant and creative.....but all are so real, so lighthearted.
imaginary girlfriend, "user manual" on Restaurant City, their own version of Frog Prince, tales molded from Greek myths, their own science fiction, he himself being a star of Manchester United, the noble prize winner, a great inventor......
i asked them to write about the mid-autumn festival last time... and it turns out that quite a number of them spent the night having parties in THEIR OWN GARDENs or ROOFTOPs!!!
http: www.theworkingproof.com "This piece is called Burden. It was originally drawn in concentrated inks on thin, colored watercolor paper. Burden features a woman bearing a heavy load, represented by chairs chained to her back. Chairs are really meant for resting in, yet she carries them — indicating a juxtaposition of roles. Sometimes it seems that we create our own burdens in life."
painful exploration of existence and the value of self if i killed my existing identity, could i reli get rid of the past and mold myself into someone else?
