Why don't we just have kids read books written by dead white guys and force algebra and geometry down their throat?
And where's the rote greek and latin?
I had always assumed that because of the grand number of books written by white men, compared the the very small number of books written by non-whites or females or whatever, that the amount of dead white men that make it into English classes isn't a result of some current prejudice, but rather a statistical phenomenom. Unless blacks, women, etc. were entirely as prolific as white men but we just refuse to celebrate them, I don't think there's much of a current problem.

Yeah, there's all sorts of problems with that line of thought process. White's are an established literate class, who use the term author as a social construct of power and domination.
It's crazy and driven by the kooky Accountability in Education movement, but it pays well, and the kids are getting a pretty good education
But think of the teachers, Senj. You're killing them.
Well, actually, they're killing themselves, but you're making them kill themselves.
Well, this was the teacher training. When you're an actual teacher you can rip-off the internet for basic lesson plans to use as starting points, and after a year or two you've got a full set for the curriculum developed for yourself.
But you needed to be doing all this stuff as supporting document for your portfolio when you apply before the board for certification at the end of the advanced professional term

I'm fine with exploring other cultural storytelling methods further. Still face it the novel is pretty much a European communication method.

I'm not pulling out something like, "There's no problem, there's Virginia Wolfe and W.E.B. Dubois and... uh, lots of others!"
I just mean that if, for instance, only 17% of the writing of any group was ever any good, the largest writing group will obviously dominate what's being taught now, and it was only a result of the prejudice back then that resulted in the difference we have now, not existing prejudice now.
Granted, I'm aware it's still a little skewed currently, but all the skewing isn't all the current society's fault.

Gooey, Mikeman, when did y'all want to play SoaSE? 8:00 central?
Yeah, here we totally aren't expected to start having much differentiation in our lesson plans until we've already been teaching a year or two and feel comfortable in the classroom already and have some lesson plans from last year to start building more up on. Which is good because if I had to start doing shit like that before getting a feel for what type of lessons works for me as a teacher and which don't, I would rapidly lose my mind.

Before I even finished typing that the technician answered. Turns out that even though I love British comedies I failed to realize that their seasons normally only last six seasons. I felt very silly.
Then the technician and I talked about how great the show is. He even has the whole collection at home.

They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

Way to go, Grace. Next thing you know Cass will be walking down the street and all these Guatemalans will be telling her to shake her bataillo.

I really wish you had said "paradigm" instead of "method". No reason. Just I love the word "paradigm".
