Name: Khoi Ly Phone: Email: khoi.ly@peelsb.com I earned my Honours Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Toronto, graduating with distinction. I double majored in Geography - Environment and Resource Management, Urban/Economic Geograph - and minored in Canadian History. Following this, I earned my Bachelor of Education at OISE/UT, intermediate/senior division teaching Geography and Environmental Science. Finally, I returned to OISE/UT in the summer of 2003 to earn my Honour Specialist in Geography. Going into my 8th year of teaching, I have finally come to realize that teaching and learning should reflect the following:
What is Significant? Once upon a time there was a class and the students expressed disapproval of their teacher. Why should they be concerned with global interdependency, global problems and what others of the world were thinking, feeling, and doing? And the teacher said she had a dream in which she saw one of her students fifty years from today. The student was angry and said, "Why did I learn so much detail about the past and the administration of my country and so little about the world?" He was angry because no one told him that as an adult he would be faced almost daily with problems of a global interdependent nature, be they problems of peace, security, quality of life, food, inflation, or scarcity of natural resources. The angry student found he was the victim as well as the beneficiary.
