In Search of a Book
There was a time when every Monday I went to the local bookstore. I spent my entire lunch hour cruising the aisles, picking up books, reading the blurbs, putting them back. I started at A and finished at Z.

Why Study Literature?
Misconceptions about Studying Literature One of the popular misconceptions about studying literature in school is the concept of ‘the right answer’. You have probably had teachers who have tried to teach one reading of a literary text as though it were the gospel truth, whilst others who proclaim that ‘there are no wrong answers in studying literature’. Both of these viewpoints are unhelpful.

Then and Now
Good Morning, 2019!!! And good morning (or afternoon) to everyone who is taking the time to read this. I am a 63-year-old man named Maurice. I am also a schoolteacher who will soon be retired from this business. I have been in classrooms as a professional educator since September of 1978. Yes, that is a loooooooong time. There are times when I wake up in the morning and ask myself a serious question after I have gotten in my car to go to work.

What Are Montessori Schools?
Your kids are a huge investment. You take care of them for at least 18 years and hope later on down the road they will be able to take care of you as well. You spend all this time and money trying to make their lives the best they can be. And there are so many choices to make at every crossroad. If you’re religious do you baptize them? In today’s culture, you may even choose to let them choose their own gender. And when it comes to education, there’s even more options. Do you send them preschool and kindergarten? Do you homeschool? There are many reasons why people homeschoool their children, after all. If they go to school, will it be public or private? It’s hard to decide what type of education program to enroll your children in. But there is an option you might not be familiar with. It’s called the Montessori Method, and it’s taught at Montessori schools.

Confucian Times
With young people returning to school and some parents feeling perhaps as if some burden has been relieved, I thought it would be interesting to consider the educational system and objectives of another time and place.
