*sorry about earlier blank post.  

One of the things that I found interesting about the Pentecostal church meeting was that it was encouraged to interrupt the meeting when you felt the "spirit move you." I come from a different background in church you sat quietly and still in your chair and listened to the service.  You didn't yell out or disrupt the service, you were respectful to the priest sermon.  Being quiet was how you showed respect, were in the Pentecostal church participating in the sermon was the way to show respect.

The classroom setting that we have going for us right now is a very relaxed setting to what I was taught in elementary school.  You always called the teacher by there last name, they were not your friend but your elder.  You raised your hand when you had a question.  You were on time for class or you were in serious trouble.  The atmospheres was different because they were teaching you how to learn.  Where now teachers expect you to know how to learn, because your in college.  The classroom has a very warm atmosphere.  Where opinions are welcome and openly expressed.  The environment has been created to benefit learning, not to create a barrier between the teacher and the students.
