Amazing isn’t it.     .     .

it’s rarely about Teaching;

Amazing isn’t it.      .      .

it’s rarely about the Student;

Amazing isn’t it.       .       .

it’s rarely about them

N O T  finding themselves

T     o     g     e     t     h     e     r

at the exact time they’re both needed to show up.      .      .

The Teacher doesn’t always Teach.       .       .

The Student doesn’t always Learn.       .       .

But.       .       .

when that exact moment

the two are on the Same Page

in THE SAME BOOK.        .        .

Learning just doesn’t take place,

Who was   that   Teacher for   your   Student?

It doesn’t always happen in the Classroom,

does   it?

Maybe that’s the problem.        .        .

we look for the Teacher in a Classroom,

chalk in hand,

Blackboard at their back,

opened Book,

Power-Pointed Up,

Lecturing,

Instructing,

Directing,

Assigning.        .        .

Maybe that’s the problem.      .      .

we look for the Student in a Classroom,

slumped in seat,

doodling on blank pages,

reading the same sentence/paragraph

over and over again,

feigning attention.       .       .

 But the Teacher,

the Student

can be in grocery story lines,

or movie theaters,

or ballgames,

or swim meets,

or at a diner,

a car wash,

Church,

a Mosque,

Synagogue,

Cathedral,

Cemetery,

Drive-Thru,

Playground,

Anywhere.      .      .

Anyplace.      .      .

Anytime.      .      .

Anyhow.      .      .

Is   it   Today ?

Is it Right now

at this exact moment

via   a   blog?

Is   it

Virtual?

Did you hear it in a Song Lyric.      .      .

a Headline?

Maybe the truest question is

N O T      W H E N      I S      I T.         .         .

BUT      WHEN      ISN’T      IT ?

Class  is  in  Session.       .       .

All Ways.        .        .

Always.        .         .         .
