I was looking through Twine today to see what new technology posts they might have. I didn’t see anything interesting there, but when I went to the Cool Things blog, the first one that came up was a website for Demotivators. I had seen some of these anti-achievement posters before but it was fun to see them again and be reminded of certain important axioms. For example, we need to remember: Agony: not all pain is gain; Defeat: for every winner there are dozens of losers; Failure: when your best just isn’t good enough.
I wonder what a principal would say if a teacher wanted to post some of these in their classroom?

ReplyDeleteEffie, that was great - especially the Indifference Lithograph: "It takes 43 muscles to frown and 17 to smile, but it doesn't take any to just sit there with a dumb look on your face." Sometimes it feels that way...
ReplyDeleteI don't see a good outcome of a principle who were to read them in a classroom, though... I think the point for students and educators is to promote education and not promote Failure (in regards to the poster). :-)
