"My best teachers were passionate about their subject matter and sought approaches that directly involved students in examining, discussing, and applying the material."

![](A 1881 11 12 cram.jpg)
With visage haggard and worn,
With eyes deep-sunken and red,
A child sat cramming scholastic bosh
Who ought to have been in his bed.
No sleep for the urchin to-night–
He fears the “bad mark” of the Ma’am–
He’ll toss on his bed till ’tis light
And then to his books and his cram!
No laughter of rollicking youth
But an air of old age that’s a sham–
A trembling, cringing, prison-house air,
The result of the system of cram!
Cram, cram, cram,
Algebra, Euclid and Roots,
Cram, cram, cram,
Cram it down into his boots!
Cram! cram! cram!
A school-full of galley slave mutes;
Cram, cram, cram,
Botany, Spelling and Roots!
O, when will they mix common sense
With their boasted common school plan,
And learn that a boy was not meant for a guy–
But a wide-awake, every-day man?

"We (Cree) learned by doing and by listening and watching. . . Uou didn't have chairs and desks, blackboards and teachers. You had a tree stump, stories and a grandparent. The way you learned was different, but you learned. You learned things just as well . . .because if you didn't learn, you wouldn't survive."
