Growing my paper: Intro to a thesis

Today we were given an outline of expectations for our upcoming thesis driven paper. When told that it would involve the role our educators should play and using two teachers as examples, I immediately came up with an idea. My teachers will embody two important roles educators play: the disciplined, organizational teacher, and the compassionate, inspirational teacher. Both will be fairly simple to compare and contrast, but my thesis may pose a bit of a challenge. Where do I exactly  stand with the two? I believe both types of teachers are important, one teaches self sufficiency while the other teaches empathy and inner growth. Sir Ken Robinson made some great points about creativity and our the deficiencies of the public education system. I agree that public education has negatively effected creativity, but on the other hand I find that people are becoming more or less undisciplined. Not in a don't do this, do do that kind of thing, but more in an organizational and self disciplined way.  I look forward the rest of our "inspirational" media, hopefully they will help me to fully realize the point I want to convey.

  1. Yeah I agree that is both ways people don't have any self disipline. People just do whatever there impolise tells them at that moment which can be a good and bad thing.
