Broken Bell Education in Israel - Eye Spy
Nov 3, 2008
David Siegel

“You know your teacher is possessed by Beelzebub when his or her head rotates 360 degrees at the blackboard. But is this what it takes to effectively keep watch over a classroom while a teacher unveils a frontal lesson? All adults who work with kids instinctively understand that they love to deny their mischievous behavior when the teacher isn’t looking. It’s one of the hallmarks of adolescent classroom acuity. Lest you grow eyes in the back of your head, educators are in a significantly vulnerable position. So how does one fight back?

Broken Bell Education in Israel - Monkey-See Monkey-Do
May 28, 2008
David Siegel

“How many bars of soap would it take to wash out the mouths of our most vulgar students? I’m not advocating such an archaic punishment, but if I hear just one more Junior High school student offer greetings and salutations to his peers with a: wassup beeach? or how’z it mother f@cker?, I am going to lose my composure and thrash someone with a complete, unabridged Webster’s dictionary.

Broken Bell Education in Israel - Cooperative Learning in School
Mar 12, 2008
David Siegel

“Can’t we all just get along?” The popularized outcry by Rodney King captures the essence of cooperative learning with kids. Everyday children are put to the task of working together as a class, in groups or pairs, without systematic preparation or training. The result is often a breakdown in rank and file with dissention leading the attack. Here’s an example:

Broken Bell Education in Israel - Ramblings of an ex-teacher
Feb 10, 2008
David Siegel

Kick ‘em in the back, kick ‘em in the knee, bring it on teachers, educate me! Oh come on educators, “let’s give it the old college try!” Sorry, too much to ask? Well then, drag yourself to work and just get through the day without too much aggravation and insult.

Broken Bell Education in Israel - There's a sucker born every minute
Dec 25, 2007
David Siegel

“There’s a sucker born every minute.” In Israel it is sacrosanct to say: “just don’t let it be me.” The atmosphere in school today parallels this mantra.

Broken Bell Education in Israel - Lateral Thinking in the Classroom
Dec 10, 2007
David Siegel

Remember the old trash compactors? You shoved in as much garbage as possible, compressed it and added some more. Neat, tidy bundles of waste, prepared for dumping, dense and inert. Lot’s of energy goes into packing, but once they are imbedded in the ground, how useful are they? Clearly some material can be recycled. But how do we begin the sorting process? How much information that we impart to kids today will be useful to them and society in the future? Are we helping them sort the trash or just cramming in more?
