In Justine's, "Connection: The Creativity Crisis and School" blog entry, she talked about how the crisis in our schools and nation is the lack of time that kids have to be creative anymore because we have adopted China's old education system. Because we have adopted this system, we are no longer focused on the creativity of our kids, and we are more concerned with how much information we can pound into every students head. Her post represented what I also believed to be the problem and I replied:
I loved this post because it was short but incredibly important! You were able to explain the problem, compare it to another nation, and get the reader (me) really thinking about what we could do to fix that problem.
I definitely agree with you on the fact that we, as teenagers, rarely have time for ourselves with all of our school work and jobs that we no longer have to time to create or be creative.
Nice Work!

In Stacey's "Best of the Week: Born Into Brothels" blog post, she talked about the movie Born Into Brothels that we watched in class that week, and about her conflicting emotions towards the children. She talks about how it was difficult to fight back the tears when watching the way these children were living but also the incredible joy she felt when she realized how smart and insightful these kids were. I was touched by her emotion so in response I wrote:
Stacey,
I loved this post. There was so much passion and emotion overflowing in your writing that it made me feel exactly what you felt while watching that movie.
I'm so glad that after you mentioned how insightful the children were, you ended the post with that quote because that was one of the top things that really stuck with me after the movie ended. It astounded me to hear that kind of wisdom come out of the mouth of a 10 year old boy.
Awesome Post!

Until next time,
