Education is too important to take seriously.When people take anything too seriously,they put on blinders,which cause them to miss the important aspects of what is going on around them.(1)_______________________.Education is too important to be limited by those who have chosen to wear blinders and develop tunnel vision.I believe the accountability movement has encouraged many educators to take education too seriously.When we take education too seriously,we put standardized tests scores above children,we put lesson plans above teachers,and we put on our blinders,only to see a rather small segment of the children—that segment can be measured easily rather than looking at the child as a whole.(2)_______________________.How can we take off our blinders?How can we eliminate tunnel vision to see the whole child?How can we not take everything so seriously?My recommendation is simply to laugh, teach and laugh.Psychologists have long believed that negative motions cause negative chemical changes in the body.We know the opposite is also true.(3)_______________________.Laughter actually relaxes the muscles,slows the heartbeats, and lowers blood pressure.Laughter stirs the inside and then gets the endocrine system moving,which can be quite beneficial in alleviating disease.Laughter also relieves boredom,tension, guilt, depression, headaches and backaches.
