teaching

...readers who think I have answers when all I have are a few pointed questions...

One can pass on knowledge but not wisdom. One can find wisdom, one can live it, one can be supported by it, one can work wonders with it, but one cannot speak it or teach it.

Can writing ever be taught? The best answer to that was given obliquely by the rock musician David Lee Roth. When asked if money could buy happiness he said, no, but with money you could buy the big boat and go right up to where the people were happy. With a teacher you can go right up to where the writing is done; the leap is made alone with vision, subject, passion, and instinct. So a writer comes to the page with vision in her heart and craft in her hands and a sense of what a story might be in her head. How do the three come together? My thesis is the old one: they merge in the physical writing__nside the act of writing, not from the outside. The process is the teacher.

Writing can be taught or learned in the vacuum. We must say to students in every area of knowledge: "This is a how other people have written about this subject. Read it; study it; think about it. You can do it too.

Indira was surrounded by people who had given up hope, who blamed their own misery on the influence of Christianity and western cultures, and yet, literally in the midst of squalor, her family had created a place of real beauty. It really makes you stop and think. Uncle Google should be spitting out eight hundred million things American schools have done right. The fact things are so screwed up makes no sense. If you believe Uncle Google, then we__e done the exact opposite from Indira__ family__n the land of hope and plenty we__e created a place that__ ugly. We have so much. Can things really be so bad? Maybe we can__ fix our schools because as individuals we__e never truly been broken. Or maybe Chinese lanterns make everyone wax philosophical.

It's an imperfect world, so you fit in perfectly.

.nothing's perfect and that's perfect..

We are never taught more deeply and more truthfully than by pain.
