The first two minutes of this reminds me of a pre-calculus teacher I had… everyone thought she was a terrible teacher and she was widely disliked. After some time, she changed our homework and forced us to do chapter outlines and copy examples from the book. I realized that she wasn’t terrible, but she was so smart that she didn’t understand how the students couldn’t understand the material. Essentially, she was too smart to understand our stupidity. lol 😂 She became one of my favorite teachers and I did very well in her class.

[@nattamused9074]

Charlotte Mason, a revolutionary educator, taught the importance of copywork, as well as narration. The idea is that the acts of copying, and reciting, and then putting those copies into our own words (either verbally, or written) is essential to learning anything. This concept is often missed in maths. Very often, math is taught as a formula or concept, and then immediately crosses over into practical application. Students would do very well to spend time in copying examples and memorizing them first, then narrating what they understand about those examples, and finally moving on to applying those concepts to new equations. It sounds like your teacher either knew this, or was learning it.

44:00 as a service man who has worn several different uniforms, over multiple decades of conflict, I remember when we were told Sadam was the new Hitler and that Osama was the new Hitler, and most recently that Trump was worse than hitler… I never considered that those actually going to fight Hitler didn’t see him as any worse than any other historic enemy. Today, our military seems to be returning to a dispassionate professionalism, but I have noticed over the last four years that there is a (for lack of a better word) negative side to the stoicism I see around me. “It is what it is,” is said by all parties from all walks of life, combined with many doing all that they can to max out their disability from military service (as opposed to leaving for those in truly dire need). Anyways, it’s a weird time for me.

Matthew 25: 1-13 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. 6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

[@temin2776]

No, that's not true. Clive Lewis is not a heretic. If you have read the Bible carefully, then you know that the Apostle Paul said that sin is alive in him, that he has not yet been completely freed from it. «I was given a thorn in the flesh, An angel of Satan, to keep slapping me, So that I might not be overly exalted.» And this is an apostle who has learned many truths. And King David, who wrote some of the psalms, called himself a sinner, if you remember. That is, the influence of sin affected them. So the devil influenced them. And it's true. Even saints sin, and they often tell it themselves. That's why you're wrong. After all, Lewis talks about the feelings expressed by the psalms.

David is a prophet! 4. christianity isn’t true. it’s all second hand accounts that could never be admissible to condemn anyone, unless they are by believing lies about God, calling a man God, which is blasphemy or accepting a book as perfect, which is idolatry and blasphemy. and the way of love you claim for him is nonsense when he told you to hate your family. 5. God is always in control. pray to a man, and you are an idolater. 6. the unjust judge is religion! 7. we have not been spared by righteousness, and others suffer for it. it’s totally wrong!
