Unbelievable! What a great
Unbelievable! What a great idea. I hope everyone @ LAUSD, and the LAUSD School Board
and the Mayor of Los Angeles see this!
An absolutely incredible science experience!
Absolutely incredible! What a fantastic and dedicated teacher! It is amazing what a difference a teacher can make that is willing to work hard at their job. So many teachers take the easy (and lazy) way out and simply read aloud out of a textbook, assign the questions at the end, and give a test. Or worse worksheets and notes, lecture and notes. B-O-R-I-N-G. 21st century kids need to be visually and intellectually stimulated and engaged --and that requires hard work on the teachers part. This teacher truly understands her mission -- and that is to enable children to live their lives with meaning and purpose. Kudos to you Sharon Campbell!! You rock!!
Field Trip to Mars/comment
Wow! If I had only had this lovely human being (as I'm sure is her hubby!)as my
teacher, I would've had a different outlook on teachers and the mandatory learning process.
My nutty professor was NOT, alas, a professor, but a tired, worn-out and 'therefore obsolete, useless,mediocre
run of the mill, boring kid-hating teacher. I knew the type well. Alas!
I would have lived a much better life had
a curriculum such as this one, been infused into our daily agenda..along with
Dick and Jane and the others. Time must be adaptive to its relativity in space and time. What worked in 1950 would NOT
necesarily be conducive to the bright, internet-ready children who seem as able
to maneuver in this 2008 world as their children will (blessedly!)be in 2050!
I hope the board of ed. looks closely to
this and other videos just like this one.
Thank you,"Teach"! When is Venus' turn?:)
