Lena's review "Education" and "Library Smell" by Heidi Helfer

Library smell is about the love of books in a library and the desire for learning knowledge. “The scent of knowledge, of story” I like because I can relate to being comforted and excited when smelling the pages from a new book or entering library that wreaks the smell of old books. “Still can’t stay away because I need that knowing even if I don’t want it.” I like this line because you can lose it and continue to search and explore the library for something. You could write about the surrounding environment of the library to give the essence of the smell. Education is about a teacher’s frustration of technology in schools when kids already know technology and teaching as an art form to captivate kid’s attention and learn and enjoy knowledge. “But teaching is about taking kids someplace they otherwise wouldn’t go: it’s about getting them to think, to create and making them grow.” I like this because this is what real teaching should be in all schools learning is a mental adventure. “Teaching is an art, and learning, a need. Don’t encourage minds to be numb or allow imagination to decline” together the lines create complete thought of the teaching and learning and the negative affect is not done correctly. You could write more about the specific art of teaching.
