Learner's Profile and Thoughts on Multiple Intelligences Test

(Please click the puny image above for a larger one.)It's been a few weeks since I did this test. I scored the highest for intrapersonal, interpersonal and logical. The lowest I got was a pathetic score of 9 for music. That must explain why I do not have any idea what the true meaning of a song is, much less pick out any form of expression embedded in music. What I think of the multiple intelligences test is that it basically provides a platform for teachers to find out how a student learns best. Different students have different personalities and thus giving rise to different intelligences. A teacher introduces a "route" to a student to enable to him/her to learn better according to their learning styles. Through this "route", the teacher aims to find one's strengths and weaknesses. After this, a teacher will probably modify their lessons in a way that it will benefit students with different interests and learning styles. What I think of using mutiple intelligences to teach is that it does not really work out. In fact, I think that doing different intelligences alternately can develop students better, providing them with a wider area of learning.

Journal according to Miss Kinnian (E-Learning for Language Arts)

It has been days since I saw Charlie. The last time I saw him was at the adult school, where he had forgotten that he did not have to go anymore. I heard from Dr. Strauss that the operation had gone wrong. I couldn't believe what he had been subjected to. That anguish of not being able to be smart. He was a great student of mine back then. He was motivated at the thought of being smart. I'm afraid I was the one who made the wrong choice of letting him for the operation. It was all my fault for his suffering. I decided to drop by his small apartment. I imagined him huddling in the corner, sobbing while tears of sorrow ran down his cheeks. I could not bring myself to grab that door knob. The thought of not being able to relieve his suffering strangled me in the neck. Yet, the knowing that he needed emotional support forced my hands to the knob. I was in his room but not a single soul was in it. A torn and wrecked diary lay in front of me. I remembered what it was, Charlie's progress reports. The place where he kept his emotions from the open world. Scanning it through, I was shocked. Charlie had left New York. Tears rolled down my cheeks as I read his last report. He was grateful to me despite my wrong decision. If only I could reverse time, I would be able to undo my decision, Charlie would not have left New York and I would not be required to stay awake at night in this drowning guilt. I just have to bring myself to this truth. This was the first time I had felt so much for a student. I have decided to quit my job lest I commit another blunder which might ruin another of those helpless people. For now, I shall reflect on my actions.

Thaksin Shinawatra is guilty again...

THAILAND's ruling party has urged Thaksin Shinawatra, deposed Prime Minister, to leave Thailand's political stage after top court had seized more than half of his frozen assets, found to have been gained through policy corruption while he was in office. The ruling party has expressed that if Thaksin Shinawatra leaves the political stage, his supporters will also leave, alleviating the political situation in Thailand. The "Red Shirts" as they are called because of their fanciful dressing, have held numerous street rallies since Thaksin's overthrow. Thaksin is currently in self-exile in Dubai, trying to avoid a two-year jail term for corruption.
What if I was Thaksin?
Being a person who goes with the right way, I would definitely withdraw from the political stage in Thailand. Furthermore, with my atrocities in the past, I had betrayed my birth country. This is definitely not what I was looking forward to when I assumed office. Even if I continue with my self-exile, I would not be able to return to my country. It has been four years since this political war had been started by me, had I not commited those atrocities, it would have been a smooth sailing journey when I assumed office. It was because of my bloodthirsty search for wealth to the expense of the unrest that had been happening over the four years. I would definitely not be able to sleep in this drowning guilt.
