9x9x25 challenge (2013)

Though the life of an educator is rewarding, it can sometimes grow repetitious. Each semester we teach students roughly the same material, using roughly the same techniques, in roughly the same spaces, and with roughly the same goal. In this way we can fall into the role of an assembly worker at a large production plant, each day inserting part X into part Y2. This is not our fault, nor necessarily a bad thing; we each delve deeply into our disciplines, and, over a few years, find effective methods of achieving our goals –after all, if it’s not broke, why fix it? Nevertheless, we occasionally need someone to get us off our well-worn seats and make us tour the factory, to show us what happens at station X, to examine the finished product, to share what’s going on at the Dearborn plant. This is what Todd does, and this is what 9x9x25 has achieved. Perhaps that is why I’ve not felt some momentous change by participating in this project –with The Instigator around, I get to engage in it all the time.
