Learning through the storm
Article Abstract:
The lessons of the past become relevant and meaningful during a particular moment in life and this universal truth is known by teachers who echo it repetitively in schools and colleagues stating 'one day, you will know why you need this'. When Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans it bought back the memories of the classroom scenes along with the teacher' voices, which said that New Orleans is shaped like a bowl and is below sea level, and, if levees break the city would be under water.
