The other day I explained something poorly in class and in
frustration said, “My horizontal hold is off!”
All of my students looked at me in complete bewilderment. I knew immediately they had no idea of what I
meant. I tried to explain it (try it
yourself) but because they had zero experience it was impossible for them to
have any comprehension of my statement or subsequent explanation. Life is changing and the rate is
accelerating. At this point I could go
on and on about horizontal hold being a good metaphor for death, how my classroom
is an analogue TV and my teaching is the horizontal hold button, but all of
that would just make your horizontal hold and vertical hold be off. What this blog is really about is the problem
I am having being a Brontosaurusanalog bumping around in a room full of Homo
Erectusdigtals.
