"That the connected series of things might
intellectually remain in the Light of the
Father; that the elements of the
World might continue their course in mutual

"If you really want to
evaluate a teacher you have to walk into a
classroom, sit down and listen.
I'm convinced that when you're
listening to good teaching, you hear a familiar
refrain.
It goes like this: What is the connection between ...
and ... ?
So much of good teaching is about
taking strands of information and looking for connections and broadening
the context.
Endless test preparation has the opposite effect.
Endless test preparation shrinks the context.
Endless test
preparation reduces inquiry.
Endless test preparation mitigates against
Socratic dialogue and can drain much of
the passion from teaching and learning.
The irony is that young
students begin by making
connections.
The challenge for teachers is to build on that foundation, to
encourage students to seek
connections between, say, fractions and percentages, or between
lobbying and legislation, or between
Copernicus and
Darwin, or between the main characters in
two different novels.
I like to ask my
students why the food in India, Africa
and Mexico is so much spicier than the food in Ireland, Iceland and Finland.
Typically, lots of theories are advanced and
eventually (and perhaps with some guidance) students use their knowledge of geography, chemistry, botany and
economics to make the connection that
will lead to an explanation.
We teachers call this "thinking across the curriculum." Once
students start seeing how and why
seemingly disparate topics are related, and more important, once they start
looking for and making those connections, then the
teacher will have performed that special
kind of classroom alchemy - turning passive receivers of
knowledge into active participants in the learning
process.
The answer to the spice question: First, spices grow in
equatorial regions; and second in hotter climates, food rots more quickly, so
spices are needed to preserve the food and, later, to mask the rancid smell." -
Jeff Lantos

This web site is not a commercial web site and
is presented for educational purposes only.
This website defines a new religious ideology to which its author adheres. The author feels that the falsification of reality outside personal experience has created a populace unable to discern propaganda from reality and that this has been done purposefully by an international corporate cartel through their agents who wish to foist a corrupt version of reality on the human race. Religious intolerance occurs when any group refuses to tolerate religious practices, religious beliefs or persons due to their religious ideology. This web site marks the founding of the religion aptly named The Truth of the Way of Life - a rational religion based on reason which requires no leap of faith, accepts no tithes, has no supreme leader, no church buildings and in which each and every individual is encouraged to develop a personal relation with God through the pursuit of the knowledge of reality in the hope of curing the spiritual corruption that has enveloped the human spirit. The tenets of The Truth of the Way of Life are spelled out in detail on this web site by the author. Violent acts against individuals due to their religious beliefs in America is considered a “hate crime.”
This web site in no way condones violence. To the contrary the intent here is to reduce the violence that is already occurring due to the international corporate cartels desire to control the human race. The international corporate cartel already controls the world central banking system, mass media worldwide, the industrial military complex of America and is responsible for the collapse of morals, the elevation of self-centered behavior and the destruction of global ecosystems. Civilization is based on cooperation. Cooperation does not occur at the point of a gun.
American social mores and values have declined precipitously over the last century as the corrupt international cartel has garnered more and more power. This power rests in the ability to deceive the populace in general through mass media by pressing emotional buttons which have been preprogrammed into the population through prior mass media psychological operations. The results have been the destruction of the family and the destruction of social structures that do not adhere to the corrupt international elites vision of a perfect world. Through distraction and coercion the direction of thought of the bulk of the population has been directed toward solutions proposed by the corrupt international elite that further consolidates their power and which further their purposes.
