Eagle has Landed!

Jordan landed safely in Australia and is 'chillin' according to his Facebook page.  Today is CPU Open House day for parents.  The school office area is all decorated in red and white and there are university pennants and brochures up everywhere.

Shelley was talking to former students last night who have gone on to Taylor's university and are quite disillusioned. After learning how to question, problem solves and use their higher level thinking skills, their new profs have told them not to ask questions, 'They are the lectures, you are the students!', sit and listen, take in my knowledge and wisdom.

Sadly, one of these students is in Journalism.  Go figure!

Next time I meet with the university president I think I will have a chat :-) The good news is that he listens, but how do you change a teaching and learning culture so archaic?

TTYL,

Jim
