do no harm:


idit dobb-weinstein: "teaching is action and thinking at once. What I try to guard against most when I teach is not speaking as if my answer were conclusive, so as to avoid (to the extent possible) any kind of dogmatic appropriation. It is understandable why students might wish to imitate their teachers, but there are different modes of imitation. I try very hard to avoid the mimetic appropriation that is immediate, passive, and occludes thinking. One other reason is that if I made clear what my views were, and my views appeared as if they were final, it would preclude the possibility of first, students challenging me and second, learning from my students. The relation between the student and teacher is, to me, a dynamic relationship . . . Teaching and learning is a movement that occurs between. In other words, we are at once both agent and patient, both teacher and learner. If we are not very careful, we can do a great deal of harm. And that, too, I have learned from my teachers, Maimonides especially.

I believe my task is to provoke students to think and to engage them in genuine dialogue and questioning. To paraphrase a rabbinic saying, 'I have learned from my teachers, and I have learned from my peers, but I have learned most from my students.' And that is a continuous process of learning."

in memoriam
i found this with sorrow.
a school massacre in montreal 1989
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/École_Polytechnique_massacre

on a men who hate women theme

if schools don't start taking this seriously
they should speak with care

i am deeply afraid to go to school where professors attack students with words, deeply afraid
or afraid where professors protect bullying (see the case of sheila dharod and scott clapson and the ASO at LACC)

why doesn't the school recognize how fragile humans are????
every effort should be made to hault
violent words
promote peace
promote peaceful understandings
not slur anyone
with a bully-tongue

eventually, people snap.

hey i snapped and graphed up the blogosphere.
thank heavens i'm a ghandi loving vegan pacifist of sorts
bc
LACC felt like a mind-control prison
with really insensitive administrators and teachers
unbelievably insensitive!
