Greetings loyal readers...
I apologize, once again for the delay in my posting. It's been a while. First...the update.
In the last week we got ready for Thanksgiving and the kids were very good. Nothing of note there.
Bibi and I went to Kansas City for the holiday, and had a fantastic time. Hung out with her family, most of my family, were able to relax a great deal, and just had an unbelievably restful time.
Saw an interesting movie about quantum physics..."What the (Bleep!) Do We Know?". Put forth some very interesting questions that Q.P's brings to mind. Had some really interesting discussions throughout the film as well. Not for everyone, but interesting, none the less.
I finished "Go Down, Moses" a few days ago. Wow. Really a phenomenal book...very thought provoking and worthwhile read. I appreciated the help of Spark's Notes in getting my started, but enjoyed even more the ability to break free from that tool. (Remember kids, there's nothin' wrong with using Spark's or Cliff's notes as an aid, but the really don't act as a substitution for the real thing!!!)
My in-laws gave me Pudd'nhead Wilson as a present for a Sikh holiday, and I've already finished it. Gotta love Mark Twain's willingness to throw human weaknesses in our faces, you know? (c;
So, know a couple of thoughts...I don't feel like it's Christmas "time" yet. Not at all. In fact, I usually spend the Sunday after Thanksgiving decorating, listening to Christmas tunes, and eating sugar cookies and hot cocoa. I honestly didn't feel like it was really Thanksgiving yet, and I can't help but feel that it's not Christmas-time yet. I've only listened to a couple of Christmas songs, and that was somewhat half-hearted....I'm just not ready for it yet. Anyone else feel the same?
And, finally a question.
Is education a "science" or is education an "art"?
What do you all think?
Thanks for stopping by...and I promise to blog sooner than I did this time...

It depends on how education is approached to whether or not it is art or science. It really depends on the method that the teacher uses. More artistic types of teachers will make education an art while those who are more scientifically minded will make it a science.
Hell...Really, it's both. You need to use both to get through to kids.
We can talk aboot it over coffee sometime!

I have been thinking about your question since you posted and I have come to the conclusion... it is both. Both.

Okay, back to a previous topic. I read this article today about your man from Iowa and his Pres. bid. Sounds like a good guy. Here's the link if you're interested. Interesting platform.
