Love and Logic Basics

February 14 The Love and Logic philosophy states the importance of adults providing limits in a caring way. It involves building students up so they feel more capable, even after being disciplined. When interacting with students, educators need to stay calm and avoid provoking, threatening, moralizing or lecturing. Fay and Funk recommend that educators use polite statements that are enforceable and offer children choices within limits, thus avoiding power struggles. Discipline is maintained with compassion and understanding. They describe childhood misbehavior as an opportunity for helping children grow through their mistakes. Their methods help children learn to be responsible and gain self-confidence.

The Parallel world of the lovers

The relationship of Viola de Lesseps and Will Shakespeare parallels and informs the writing of Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet'. Shakespeare uses the memory of 'real' events in his relationship to Viola when writing scenes for 'Romeo and Juliet'. A good example is the scene in the film depicting the morning after the consummation of Viola and Will's relationship and how it eventually appears in Will's play as a similar scene after the consummation of the marriage of 'Romeo and Juliet'.
