very cool
well I'm loud, many kids aren't used to that
Ah yeah the military background
I use certain behaviors to drive home points
and I don't back down
Sounds cool to me
and I teach them to be assertive
Do you call people out?
always
Interesting
For what?
usually in a mocking manner
well if they come up with completely ideological answers I ask them to expand on that
Ah goos
good *
then get them to place it in a rael world setting
and when it is found to be terrible we joke about it an d move on
It's always good to make people follow through on ideas and not just let them regurgitate talking points
nothing against the student, but against the idea
I never attack the individual, just the ideas
they like me, the students
Is that what you think or do they tell you
I wanted to be a teacher before I landed in journalism
I force them to look at how things are
I didn't want to be a teacher, I wanted to get into public relations
in politics
Odd
but landed a teaching job
I heard journalists tend to become PR
well I am a Communication major with a History minor
I see
I'm a philosophy major but I ended up loving journalism
As a teacher how does the district make you handle the old cusual racism from materials pre-1930s?
but its hard for a 40 yr old vet to get started in such things
we don't use material from the 1930's lol
the books I use are less than 2 years old
although I do pull out some old books to show the students how things were interpretedearlier
And they don't cover history?
well we talk about everything
New books, new perspectives
