But this doesn’t explain why Gothic architecture, specifically, seems to do this so effectively. The evolutionary explanation for the existence of awe – which is connected to our experience of the aesthetic – is that it arises as a combination of fear and wonder to promote ethical concern, prosociality, and generosity. But it is especially difficult to understand how, from the perspective of evolutionary psychology, for example, we could have evolved an emotional response to anagogically-aiming representations of geometrical harmony and divine illumination. Many have argued that naturalism cannot do justice to the aesthetic dimension of reality, nor explain why the world is so beautiful.

We All Love ‘Anne of Green Gables.’ What About ‘Emily of New Moon’? by Elisabeth Egan (Thanks to my friend Katherine for sharing this article with me so I can share it with you.) How about you? Valancy from The Blue Castle is more my speed if we’re going to leave Green Gables. But they’ve never held the same place in my heart as Anne. This, despite a study by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences that found that humanities majors are comparably likely to be satisfied with their jobs and employed in supervisory roles as graduates from other majors.Īnd while you probably know I’m an Anne fan, I do also enjoy Montgomery’s Emily books. See how efficiently students in the poorest state are shunted toward the vocational: It’s not personal. Stop Corporatizing My Students by Beth Ann Fennelly Dear friends gave me her book Great with Child when I was pregnant with Gwen and I adored it. This one from Beth Ann Fennelly is excellent. You know that if there’s a good “why should we study the humanities” piece, I’m going to share it. by putting bread, gold, horse, apple, or the very roads into a myth, we do not retreat from reality: we rediscover it.” In MacDonald’s fairy tales, we can see with fresh eyes because the strange world he shows us highlights the wondrous reality we find ourselves in. As Lewis points out, “The value of the myth is that it takes all the things we know and restores to them the rich significance which has been hidden by ‘the veil of familiarity’. The school is a part of Harmony Public Schools, a nationally-recognized school system that believes each student can achieve their own. MacDonald looks with eyes of otherworldly wonder, an antidote to our own world-weariness. Harmony Public Schools provide high-quality education with a focus on Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math (STEM) for students in Grades PreK 12th and offers services to students with specialized needs. MacDonald invites us to view reality with his Christ-formed vision, free from cynicism. The Golden Key: Why Read George MacDonald?

Our high school is small so teachers wear many different hats. The hardest part of my job is all the other responsibilities you take on as a high school teacher. I am also extremely organized which helps! I pride myself on prioritizing and get everything done in a timely manner. I have found that this job has made me extremely good at being efficient with my time. It definitely keeps me on my toes and makes the days exciting but is also a lot of work! A lot of preparation goes into each day. I have found this to be a blessing and a curse. I currently teach 6 different classes-Geometry, Pre-AP Geometry, Algebra II, Pre-AP Algebra II, Dual Credit College Algebra, and Concepts of Engineering and Technology. This job is different from day to day which is what is so fun about teaching. A typical day at work is so hard to describe. ![]()
