[IBC] Juniper Bonsai life expectancy?
Think maybe this is due in part to the fact that our educational system here
in the U.S. has, for the most part, devolved to the point where education is about regurgitation of "facts" as opposed to the application of "principles?" Jeff Isom Cleveland, OH / Sunset Zone 39 I'd venture that this is because we Americans feel the illogical need to understand what we're being taught - from an intellectual point of view. We have to feel good about what we're digesting and "know" that it's worthwhile (forget the fact that, since we lack the fundamental understanding in the first place, that all of this is impossible). If we don't understand the process, we fear and dislike it. If the teacher demands that we forget all of that junk and just absorb the instruction and put it into practice without question, we think that we're being duped or that we're being "disrespected." None of this has anything to do with learning, of course. But we like to delude ourselves that it does. See, "we" know what's right and the teacher does not. It's quite simple. ;-) Kind regards, Andy Rutledge zone 8, Texas ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Jerry Meislik++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
