Paying attention

Attention to the kid is the fundamental to the teacher’s success, as well as the child’s ain character of attending is the fundamental to the learning process, to a greater extent than or less Simone Weil asserts inwards her essay “Reflections of the Right Use of School Studies”. She nearly goes equally far equally to tell that the bailiwick studied as well as its contents are irrelevant; the of import thing, the existent destination of study, is the “development of attention”. And why? Because “prayer consists of attention”, as well as all worldly report is actually a stretching of the individual towards prayer.

“Never inwards whatever representative whatever is a genuine travail of the attending wasted. It ever has its effect on the spiritual plane as well as inwards resultant on the lower 1 of the intelligence, for all spiritual calorie-free lightens the mind.” An endeavor to grasp 1 truth – fifty-fifty if it fails – volition assist us inwards grasping another. “The useless efforts made past times the Cure d’Ars, for long as well as painful years, inwards his endeavor to acquire Latin bore fruit inwards the marvellous discernment that enabled him to come across the really individual of his penitents behind their words as well as fifty-fifty their silences.”

Attention is desire; it is the wishing for light, for truth, for understanding, for possession. It follows, according to Weil, that the tidings “grows as well as bears fruit inwards joy”, as well as that the hope or anticipation of joy is what arouses the travail of attention: it is what makes students of us.
