My passion?
Teaching! If I were given the opportunity to modify the curriculum, each year I would start anew. Journalism, Drama and Cooking;
Music, Dancing and Yoga; Math, Poetry and Ceramics; Piano, Physics and Photography… My list of school supplies? Not
long; a notebook, color pens, play dough, and a camera, and there would not be a single person on this earth unable to participate
in a percussion concert. Yoga, Computer Science, and Writing would take the place of Math, English and History, and Language
would be taught only functionally… as in a class of Art in Chinese, or a Photography workshop in French. In lieu of
History taught through the perspective of heroes and great events, I propose a course on point of view and autobiography.
Every year oral culture would be renovated through my preferred genre: chronicle –I say, I heard, I was
there…” At the end of the day the results might be: interdisciplinary children who would not find it easy
to pinpoint the three disciplines they would rescue from a cataclysm; having instead a passion for learning, learning to learn…
Every year they would embrace a new discipline and repudiate those not adapting to reality… a reality in urgent need
to be apprehended through the fresh look of a new methodology, a new approach…
