Classroom or a country: What it takes to lead...

USA Weekend magazine,Sept. 9th page 7: The most important and demanding job is "the president" but there are plenty who would say "a teacher." Both are well reasoned. Both jobs requires the same skills to achieve success. For both presidents and teachers challenges are constantly repeated. John Qincy Adams could simultaneously write Latin with one hand and Greek with the other. As a Harvard professor of rhetoric and oratory, he vowed to teach 'reason, clothed with speech.' My comment: As China is under the spotlight,perhaps one would write English on one hand and Chinese with the other in the 21st century. "A Glimpse of the Chinese Language" in English would be useful as a reference. www.Amazon.com online book catalog for information. Francis Shieh aka Xie Shihao on Wednesday,September 12, 2007
