Dear R...Dear Justin,<br /><br />Thanks for the warm wwords.<br /><br /><br />Dear Rhoni,<br /><br />Our classrooms need to reflect what's real.

I tell my students at the end of the year that not believing in what the media and the talking heads tell you, that reading for yourself and thinking for yourself is both the most patriotic and dissonant thing that a they can do. They look at me a little funny, but I hope some day they will know what I mean. <br /><br />My current biology teacher is going to be the death of me. She is ordering a textbook. They are seventh graders. They just need to get messy. They don't need kindom phylum class order.....

We open our kids up to violence and sexualised behaviour at young ages via the media and don't bat an eyelid, but heaven forbid we look to admit the atrocities and inequities around the corner.

I have an emotional response to your posts that's hard to describe.
