This seems much worse than, say, any of Cathie Black's comments. Is it easier for rural school administrators than urban to get away with tone-deaf comments, is it matter of school-board versus superindentent/chancellor, or Democratic region versus Republican, or something else?

“Can’t we just watch the movie??”
Throughout my literature classes in high school my classmates regularly asked my professor, “Why can’t we just watch the movie?” It was always presented to us as an unacceptable option, unless it was a reward for having gotten through the book. The language of this upsets me today when I look back. The idea of a film being a reward for all...
Every experience is dependent on the way you frame it. Carmen Papalia was one of the most positive people I’ve encountered in a long time. For me, losing my eyesight is a terrifying idea. Sight is generally considered the most important sense that humans use. It is “essential” to our functioning in the world. However, Mr. Papalia showed us another way of thinking.

There has been some really exciting research with neuroimaging that gives us a glimpse window of the brain activity underlying complex human behaviors. Using neuroimaging techniques, recent studies have begun to explore the brain systems involved in behaviors we consider to define individuals, such as moral reasoning(e.g., Greene, Sommerville, Nystrom, Darly, & cohen...
I created a Zine for my project. So I have attached a pdf with all of my text and a majority of the images I used. My topic was on success rates among minority students who have minority teachers and if their success rates are better.
I chose to take Gender, Information, Science and Technology last semester, mainly for the section labeled Gender. I did not think much about the other words I the class title, and so I was a little surprised when I learned how much Technology we would be using in class. I did not realize how much science and math would be involved in class discussion and functions. I was a bit nervous by the heavy amount of involvement with technology, because I am not especially skilled with it. As...
