Notenoughours: Tales from Finlandia
http://notenoughours.blogspot.com/2011/09/tales-from-finlandia.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. What makes good teaching? I read a great article in the Smithsonian Magazine the other day titled “Why are Finland’s Schools so Successful? By LynNell Hancock. I have read other accounts about how good Finland’s schools were, but most gave statistics and didn’t really surmise the magic formula. I have provided a link so I won’t reprint the whole article but I do want to point out some interesting points and quotes. Ultimately they discovered that they could spend less per s...

Notenoughours: Off and running: Second Hand Cancer
http://notenoughours.blogspot.com/2011/08/off-and-running-second-hand-cancer.html
Sunday, August 28, 2011. Off and running: Second Hand Cancer. Hi, my name is Bart and I have second-hand Cancer. And I’m tired. I’m angry because we can’t make plans for next week, or next month, or next year because we don’t know if we will be well enough to execute those plans. I’m angry because Cancer has made my kids afraid. Afraid for Marcia. Afraid for themselves. I’m tired of doing EVERYTHING. I’m angry about and tired of feeling guilty for being angry and tired. Going through their backpacks to o...

Notenoughours: Quiche?
http://notenoughours.blogspot.com/2011/08/quiche.html
Wednesday, August 31, 2011. Well I made quiche tonight. I haven't made quiche in a while because we ate it so much for a while the whole family started wearing ascots and began holding our pinkies out crooked. Actually I made this so often because it is so easy, so tasty, and so easy to clean up; and it lasts forever and can be warmed up or eaten cold for any meal of the day. Inevitably whenever I tell someone about my recipe I hear "you know, real men don't each quiche! See, no clean up! 1 Lay the bacon...

Notenoughours: Teaching is Universal
http://notenoughours.blogspot.com/2011/08/teaching-is-universal.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. I was going to post about my daughter's new arrangement of attending middle school from home. There is much of interest to talk about regarding the positive changes for all of us, and I promise to post on that later, but something happened today that is small, but huge. What I have found is that a teacher (and that term can be applied very loosely) must achieve three things in a particular order to be able to teach a subject. First. The teacher must gain trust.
