Sorry about the recent lack of postings. I'll have some art updates coming soon, probably as soon as tomorrow! In the meantime, I've been diligently searching for a new daytime "jobby-job." While searching, I've been thinking about life lessons handed down to me from my parents, and I thought I'd share the main one that's been motivating me.
My Dad, a retired elementary school principal, and my Mom, a former high school art teacher, at some point in my life, in some form or fashion, both have said this to me:
"With a classroom of 35 students, the majority will study for a test. The odds favor that the majority will pass the test with grades ranging from 'A' to 'D.' Very few, if any, will flunk the test. The few that don't pass may have a problem with their study form that needs to be addressed. If the whole class were to have studied and failed the test, the problem isn't with the students' abilities to study. The problem is with the test, and most likely, the teacher giving the test."
I think about this quite a bit.
