Adjustments

Greetings:

One writer has commented that teachers should live by O'Toole's Law, not Murphy's Law. More on this shortly.

In Acts 23: 2-5 Paul needed to quickly change styles. Paul was called before the Sanhedrin, was roughed up, and confronted them harshly. When he learned he was speaking to the High Priest, he softened his tone to one of respect and humility.

Often when we look at the students, we are facing a stony, glassy-eyed group. Why? Because we are not fluid enough to change up the style to entice them into the learning environment with us. If the response is not what we are seeking from the students ----- adapt. Change styles. Change methods. We need to plan alternative methods so that if one fails, we can switch and recover the losses.

Oh, Murphy's Law states, "If anything can go wrong, it will." O'Tooles says, "Murphy was an optimist."
