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
Too many kids and adults just regurgitate to fit in
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
And they don't cover history?
well we talk about everything
New books, new perspectives
slavery
and such
I just tell them to suck it the fuck up
not in so many words of course
I see so
You're creating the conservative gen Z I heard about
That's interesting
I teach mostly illegal immiggrants
I'm not creating them
So you live in the south
I do not impose my beliefs at all
I would be curious to see the look on kids faces when watching the orginal KIng Kong
I live in OK
Ah nvm
Damn
I give them the resources and then probe them for their ideas on it
@Khanclansith was king Kong racist?
