I love Suzuki!
Harold was a great t...Oh lucky you. I love Suzuki!<br /><br />Harold was a great teacher and I was able to re-connect with him after all these years. <br /><br />Yes Amen to that Bev! No More Note learning! The school system has long tried to stream line and reduce students down to the lowest common denominator. I have never been a fan of the public school system.<br /><br />A art teacher/artist has a very different perspective and approach toward teaching and learning. Creative thinkers have to keep talking about this, and try to make change through advocacy and organizing. <br /><br />Here is Nova Scotia we have a program now that brings artists into schools,( PAINTS (Professional Artists In The Schools) which I am going to be involved with this year at the local school in my rural community. I applied and just found out I was accepted! I'm very excited! <br /><br />There are about 75 artists doing this program throughout the province. Nova Scotia started cutting art teachers back in the early 70s and it's been ongoing unfortunately, in spite of how the government is always purporting who valued "culture" is in Nova Scotia. They don't put their money where their mouth is.<br /><br />We can hope that Canada's new government and young Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will be putting more into the cultural arts in Canada as he is very pro-culture and the arts, not unlike his father (Pierre) and mother(Margret).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08478520659409723872noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5010615860459158362.post-92194019839755541802016-01-09T07:14:29.857-04:002016-01-09T07:14:29.857-04:00I just got Suzuki's "Sacred Balance"...I just got Suzuki's "Sacred Balance" book for Christmas (though I still am trying to finish some others before I start his).<br />Pearce is on to something; children and adults learn in different ways. "Rote" learning just does not work for many people. But adding the creative element can really change things for them!thesycamoretreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15182019323050600440noreply@blogger.com
