Well...who knows, however my guess is that nearly everyone knows what a “far-fetched idea is of let’s just say a “near-fetched” idea is an idea that does not fall outside the scope of reasonable thought and thus is “within” reason.....
Oh yes..I promoted three post about “within”—-and within reason this is the third—well sort of.
You see the post just before this was not really within what one might. Consider reasonable for many. It doesn’t really make it any less useful or substantial, however, my particular geekiness probably made the post more meaningful to me than it might be to most. So... what I wrote, because. Of the way I wrote it and the context I placed it in didn’t say what I meant it to say... for many readers....
Well this third “within” post was going to carry that concept. Even further. Doing that would like asking a deaf chimp to describe the difference between a nearby radio playing softly and the sound coming from a marching band a mile away. In short, the third within is getting left out which is different than being with—out.
Now having said all that—my reflections today—the tools I use to find peace and joy—-led me down the road of doing a better job of.writing clearly sometimes. I am making no promises, because I love to play with words and I will follow a train of thought to see w2hat lies down the track. so... here’s the train of thought for today...
First... why a train of thought/. What if the thought(s) all come in a bunch in a big hurry? Isn’t that a swarm of thought? What if the same thoughts don’t chug right along in a straight line and aren’t particularly strong? Can a person have a tricycle of thought? What if your thoughts jump around hither. And yon (or if they are boring are they hither and yawn/) —are you experiencing a pogo stick of thought?If your thoughts are pretty smooth and then they get ramped up ands start spinning are you having a skateboard of thought?
Okay... back to my steam-powered merry-go-round of thought for today...
School is starting for so many students right now and we are rightfully putting a lot of attention on the health of students a and teachers. For the first time we are almost starting to recognize the. Challenge of the classroom teacher—don’t count on any parades—-we aren’t going to fully recognize the importance of teachers and the challenges of adapting to learning styles and platforms—
Ok..in the U.S. and in many places on the globe we have the English language at our disposal to represent. The ideas we weigh to teach...
The rest of the post is going to bring some here and now awareness to just how hard that is.. and just how much we take for granted...
Let’s start with a question—-How many of you. Have a hot water heater? Why? Isn’t it really a cold water heater? If the water were already hot why would we heat it? Nexzt question...how many times. Have you heard something referred to as 100% genuine or pure... Is someting that is 63% pure really pure? I’ve heard people say “this is the honest truth.” Ummmm..???
This is one I ran across (but not with my feet—today. “At his point in time”. Sincerely, at this point or at this time would have been fine or even “now” would (not wood) have been acceptable.
Speaking of “Wood” —how do we expect teachers and student to waltz through the stack of words that we say or write that sound the same (homophones—but why does the word homophone use ph instead of f?)
The next time. You don’t think teachers work hard remember the following story
Last night the bell tolled which told the knight it was time. With a scratchy voice that was a little hoarse he climbed (not climbed) on his horse and rode down the road. Since it was a long trip. The knight remembered some sad things and began mournig the loss of his son until the morning sun rose on those thorny flowers by the side of the path. As the daylight started to appear the knight ended up eating breakfast but found he didn’t finish till well after eight as he ate cereal with a fork. Now our knight continued into. The long day and finally encoutered a scene he’d never seen before. A man dressed in blue blew his horn and his herd of sheep heard the signal that directed them to a hill over there where their master who had decided to wear blue was standing pointing at a red sign that read—-if you want to learn how to write you must take the next right.
To summarize, I will try to keep it simpler some days as long as we all understand that the whole unending carnival of learning to read and write is an adventure and is something we can certainly help each other to experience and laugh. About from time to time....
Teachers...put on a smile and teach away...
Students put on a smile and teach away...
