A Reply from the Kingdom of Longleaf

I am happy to report that, when I woke up this morning to a knock on my door, the same messenger whom I'd sent to the kingdom of Longleaf stood before me with a reply in his hands.

The message informed me that I will be working directly with the head governess of the Special Division of Primary Students. I am so looking forward to it!

From what I can tell, the governess and I are almost identical on our beliefs as to the role of the teacher. It seems that we both view the filed of teaching much differently from that of presenting. We are not simply to present ideas to our students. We are to teach the student new ideas and skills. In order to do this, we must speak the inner language of each individual student. I will have the care of only 7 students, but I know that I have my work cut out for me...I'm so excited!!!!

Laughter is Contagious...Unfortunately

I've learned that hard way how difficult it is not to laugh when certain comical events take place in the classroom. Depending on the classroom environment, the inter-social system present between the students' homes, the goofiness of the teacher, and the mastery of comedy possessed by the students, sometimes all that is necessary to create a moment of overwhelming hilarity is for someone to laugh. The following is proof that a child's ability to make others fall out in hysterics starts very, very early.
