And I'm having trouble getting my groove on.
Right this moment, I'm doubting our schools especially keenly... Having read more about The War on Children, then experiencing it firsthand...well, it's getting to me.
Also doubting MYSELF as an educator right now because not one but TWO of my former students have protested their grades, and at least one of them might be right. (The reason I'm not teaching the course this semester? How can I teach about best practices in assessment when I can't apply them within the rigid confines of the traditional grading system @ MSU?)
Wrestling with whether I really should still BE part of the system or even a critic of the system. What good does it do? And who am I to say?
Then again, maybe icing cupcakes, like chopping wood, carrying water, and doin' the hokey-pokey, IS what it's all about.
