Teaching has NEVER been easy

SERMON ON THE MOUNTAIN

Then Jesus took his disciples up the mountain, and gathering them around, he taught them saying:

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven;
Blessed are the meek;
Blessed are those who mourn;
Blessed are the merciful
Blessed are they that thirst for justice;
Blessed are you when you suffer;
Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is great in heaven.

Then Simon and Peter said: “Are we supposed to learn this?”
And Andrew said: “Do we have to write this down?”
And Philip said “I don’t have any paper”.
And John said: ”The other disciples didn’t have to learn this”
And Thomas started doing his maths for the next period.
And Bartholomew said: ”Do we have to hand this in?”
And James said: “Will we have a test on this?”
And Mark said: ”Is that gonna be marked?”
And Matthew, leaving the mountain unauthorized, said: “May I go to the toilet?”

Then one of the Pharisees who was present asked to see Jesus’s lesson plan and inquired of Jesus: “Where is your anticipatory set and your objectives in the cognitive domain?”

And Jesus wept.
