Thursday, April 24

Read THIS blog post by a teacher. I mean actually read it. Take it in. Think about it. And then, write about it. What do you think about it? What is the teacher trying to say? In your own words explain what "the main event" is.

I think this teacher is very wise in saying this, and I think he is smart to say it. Students need to hear this kind of stuff come from people they respect other than their parents. He is saying that school is not about the grades or the points, but it is about how you get to those grades.  School is more than just the classroom, it is outside of it. Teens must learn how to handle the gossip and other bad things they encounter. The main event, adversity, is a central concept in life. Everyone experiences adversity, the people that succeed in life are the people that can handle that adversity.
