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."

macho madness with MikeDiva


for lovers of literature and eloquence please go here:
marcel proust: swann's way

for future PTSD and masochists:
go to LACC
cutters . . .
re: sleazy sexist profs obsessed with slut and prostitutes at LACC.
its not hustler mag, but close enough.
its like a funny farm pretending to be a school.
racism too.  i finally got why my latina friend was like, i wouldn't go to that ghetto school, i'm afraid of being raped.  and indeed, the rape on campus was brushed aside by the sheriffs.
and lanzer cracked jokes about how it was the rape victims fault.
poor primate!!!!
we will all die?

why be immortalized as a pottymouth on the blogosphere when you could be the five star Yelp review of teachers, with shiny red apples on your desk and devotees heady on the psychedelic music of justice?
misogyny???
like, under the che guevera flag.
even the national lawyers guild says we must resist
radical black panthers misogyny.
they meet on third and crescent heights first tuesdays at 7pm, if you want some intelligent people in the same room.
otherwise, take anthro.
ONLY IF YOU ARE A WHITE MALE.
otherwise you might get a "C" for your lack of maleness, or super-whiteness.
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/12/03/117-political-prisoners/
this video is in honor of brian bartelt's urinal vocabulary lessons
and
asshole theory
"show your tits" mardi gras refrain
and
"tits and ass" shoutout in cultural anthropology for which he graded me "C"
for
C???
after i asked he never never curse or say unkind things towards bulimics and anorexics or vegans or women, ever again.
in defiance of civil rights act the entire state of california is too illiterate to read now
thanks to Idiocracy.
his anger is wicked cool.  way to be fierce dude.  but i just wish he'd stop verbally his students with his prison vocabulary and turn his enemy against our real enemy
SATAN.
i mean karl rove  and WAR INC.

now i never say white
it is the ultra unsayable
unscientific and racist.
lame.
however the cultural cliches summed up in "stuff white people like"
cover many of the bases
that anthropology teaches, at LACC.
http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/2008/03/04/81-graduate-school/

when brian bartelt would speak of him self as "white" i felt uncomfortable.
i thought we were in a post race post gender
UTOPIA
where everyone is equal and respected.
not heterosexist elitist white male shoutathon.
i think anthro as a subject is tricky in a collateral murder
racist war era.
i rather read the gitmo files about
waterboarding in guantanamo.
http://wikileaks.ch/gitmo/

psychological abuse runs generations thick, and the racism left over in the  third generation and the fourth generation spills through to the new BP oil era "tits and ass" experts
who boldly proclaim their hate
or freedom to hate speech
asians
or bulimics
or whoever.
yes, i am calling you a nazi. or no, how about sadist. sadistic hatred of women embodied in militant verbal abuse in the classrom.
and indeed when i said terrorize, i was referring to the traumatizing effects of verbal abuse.
tthe fear of ever returning to such a place of abuse, the tears.
WHY SCREAM AT YOUR STUDENTS UNTIL THEY CRY ECKFORD, BARTELT? why.
look it up.
from ehow


What Is Verbal Abuse?

  • Verbal abuse is more than spoken negative words. Verbal abuse can be communicated with or without words in sarcasm, body gestures, tone, ignoring, rolling the eyes, laughing and teasing. The effects of verbal abuse can be experienced physically, behaviorally and emotionally. Without identifying verbal abuse, addressing it and seeking treatment, victims may experience lifelong scars and symptoms. Two common traits of verbal abusers is the brainwashing of their victims and the need to control them. Victims are brainwashed to believe everything the abuser tells them, and the abuser becomes controlling to the point of secluding the victim from friends and family.

Behavioral Effects

  • Verbal abuse has unlimited, damaging effects that may be experienced throughout life without treatment. Symptoms of behavioral effects of verbal abuse include the following and may be experienced by all ages: difficulty sleeping, profound and inappropriate sucking, biting, rocking, bed-wetting, exaggerated immature behavior, low self-esteem, excessive moodiness, aggressiveness, overacting, shyness or being withdrawn, sadness and depression, lack of trust in oneself and others, lying, stealing, and suicide.

Physical Effects

  • The age that verbal abuse began will often determine the extent of the physical effects suffered by the victim. Some of the first physical symptoms experienced in young children who are verbally abused may be a slower physical development and speech problems. As verbally abused children grow older, they may develop facial tics and go through periods of hurting themselves. Again, the age will determine the type of personal harm inflicted. Small children often bite themselves; older children may use pencils or pens to inflict harm, and if items that could be used to cut or burn themselves are readily available, older children may use these as well. Pre-teens through adults can develop eating disorders, abuse drugs and alcohol and even commit suicide.

Emotional Effects

  • The emotional effects of verbal abuse are the deep-seated feelings of low self-worth and insignificance. Victims can feel undeserving, fearful and unlovable. They also might lack of confidence and faith. The emotional effects can be as painful and difficult to overcome as any of the physical or behavioral effects.



i am really sorry to be picking on eckford and bartelt, as i have given up ALL hope.
and at a certain point bickering with idiots shows weakness.
peace out and never say an unkind word.
and watch your back LACC
columbine is a breath away, and so long as bully teachers with big egos push kids around, suicides and rampages and toilet seat grafitti and blogs will be our recourse to justice.
so count your self lucky if you make out of every day alive, so long as kamikazi lesbians
display their own
MACHO MADNESS
alphabet soup
i mean, women go la femme nikita too.  i wouldn't mess with women these days.  talking trash at us like a wanna-be larry flint.
