if information was food

• At the top of the food pyramid I would put the sugary stuff like celebrity news. Interesting but worthless for sustained mental energy.

• Next I would have sports news. It is slightly more nutritious for the brain than celebrity news but not of great importance.

• In the middle of the pyramid I would put political information. I would include what I think really matters like, legislation dealing with social programs, freedom of speech, and debates over spending.

• Toward the bottom would be current world news and information.

• The bottom layer of my information pyramid would be history of all types. I would include history of architecture, art, culture, politics, religion, philosophy, sports and war. This is the information that provides us with the standards we can judge ourselves by in the world today. This is the nutritional information our minds need for sustained energy and good health.

what's so great about teaching

Teaching is very satisfying because the teacher has the ability to help students learn and grow. Ultimately students will use the information given them by the teacher to expand their world view.
When students get jobs from the knowledge they have learned from me I get real satisfaction.
