“Devoutly the teachers point out huge fumigated domes; but beneath the statues there's no love, no love beneath the eyes set in crystal. Love is there, in flesh ripped by thirst, in the tiny hut struggling against the flood; love is there, in ditches where snakes of hunger wrestle, in the sad sea that rocks dead gulls, and in the darkest stinging kiss under pillows.” EyeLove IsStruggleTeacherSeaRocksHugeKissingHungerFleshTinyFloodThirstSnakesStatuesCrystalsPillowRippedNo LoveHutsDomesGulls Author:Federico Garcia Lorca
“They [the teachers at European conservatories] taught us because they wanted to pass the knowledge on and educate young musicians.

It wasn't the only one by any means, but it was among those.

“We know that African American students tend to be relational learners. It's about the relationships between a teacher and student. Students respond well to teachers they know, believe in them, care about them, but also who teach in a matter that elicits a more active approach to learning, rather than just sitting and listening. The research on this is strong and has been available for a long time, but it is not widely practiced. That's a huge obstacle.” KnowsBelieveWellsLongHas BeensMatterCareStrongTeachTeacherStudentsHugeListeningApproachLong TimeResearchSittingObstaclesAvailableActiveAfrican AmericanLearnersTeacher And Student Author:Pedro Noguera
