When I first came into contact with online teaching, I had questions about the validity of this instructional medium. I would not know whether the student submitting the work was the same person who registered for the course.
Online teaching also required rethinking how I deliver the subject matter. Without face-to-face communication, can I, via computer, make the students feel the same kind of enthusiasm and appreciate my sense of humor?
My shy daughter’s experience proved to be very inspiring. She never spoke in class, but in the two online courses she took, she dived into discussions and posted her opinions.
The online course began and things ran better than I had expected. The sutdents all followed the directions well, and the discussion board was lively. I’ve never met any of my students but I got to know them by their work and I saw their learning attitudes develop before my eyes.
I found that online education worked best with students who were very comfortable with t
he computer and willing to become part of a community built around the subject matter. And it required teachers to be willing to help build that sense of community and make the students feel the teacher was always there.

Sloppy people are not really sloppy. It is just that the plan they carry in their mind’s eye is too precise, too stupendous and too perfect to be achieved in this world or the next. They aim too high and wide. They save everything, planning someday to file ad order. When they finally set about handling things, sloppy people just can’t bear to part with anything. After hours of work, the place looks exactly the same. So sloppy people never get neat.
Neat people place neatness above everything else. They like results and don’t care about process. They have cavalier attitudes toward possessions. If anything collects dust, it’s got to go. The are incredibly wasteful. Anything that is not of immediate use goes into the trash. They are insensitive and there is no sentimental salvaging of birthday cards or the last letter a dying ever wrote. Neat nepole operate on two unvarying principles: Never han
dle any item twice, and throw everything away. So the only thing messy in a neat person’s house is the trash can.
So neat people are lazier and meaner than sloppy people. The distinction between them is moral.

Her daughter smoked and she felt a deep hurt as her mother. She remembered how as a child she sat by, through the yards, and watched her father, who smoked like a chimney, wheeze through most of his life feeling half his strength, and she remembered how carefully she ate when she was pregnant, how patiently she taught her daughter how to cross a street safely. She had a feeling of futility when she saw her daughter repeating the mistake of her grandfather.
She did not want to see in the family another victory for the tobacco companies, but she was faced with powerful rivals: the tobacco industry and Hollywood. The two collaborated to win over completely people like her father and made them hopelessly addicted to cigar
ettes.
