Hi fellow Arachnids,
As a retired geography teacher and a lace teacher for more years than I care to remember (and having taught several other subjects as well during my working life) I love this poem Noelene. I wholeheartedly agree with Alex and Noelene. Happy lace making, Joepie, East Sussex, UK, where the skies are grey again. From: Noelene Lafferty Sent: âThursdayâ, â30â âAprilâ â2015 â23â:â08 To: Alex Stillwell, Lace Arachne Thanks for that line "Teaching is teaching" Alex, it prompted me to start writing again. Teaching Lacemaking. Teaching is just teaching Whatever subject might be sought But if you become a teacher By your pupils you'll be taught. Take the task of teaching Lacemaking from the start You'll find yourself presented With new ideas to take to heart. "Why are there two twists there? Why can't you work uphill? Why don't my pairs remain the same? Why is my fan a frill?" So then you have to puzzle Work out the reason why. And not just do it without thought 'Cause it's pleasing to the eye. And the pleasure gained in teaching Passing on this noble art Is worth the time and effort And gladdens every heart. ....Noelene at The Angle [email protected] - To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [email protected].
