Surround yourself with people who are going to motivate and inspire you (Charles M. Marcus)

Back to the brick factory this week.

I use that metaphor from time to time - comparing a school to a brick factory. The idea comes from William Goldman's great book about making movies in Hollywood, Adventures in the Screen Trade.

By using the metaphor (making movies and working in a brick factory), he's able to capture superbly and succinctly the challenges, complexities, unpredictability and chaos involved in making movies.

That has also always seemed a good metaphor for teaching in my opinion.
