I believe we had a very informative and interesting class on Monday. It was so nice to have Dr. Elsbree come to speak on a topic in which she could be considered an expert. I appreciate everyone's participation. I also hope the radio interview with John Amaechi pointed out that, even in 2007, we are still having trouble as a society around issues of homophobia. I also expect that you are gaining more tools and courage to break down the Silence=Consent paradigm that permeates our society.
I have sent out the Grant & Sleeter article through webct email. Please look for it. It is over 20 pages, so be prepared for some printing. It is a great article! Also, don't forget to read chapter 4 from Neito. This chapter, "Structural and ORganizational Issues in Schools" begins to get at the heart of how schools are organized and its effects on our kids!
There is A LOT of reading for this week, so please start reading soon and try and read a bit every day. It will be very difficult to do late Sunday night
;-)
Also, if I do not have a copy of your personal history of otherness, please bring a hard copy on Monday.
