Okay, so... new post for this week, but i cant figure that out. Anyway, based in the reading "We make the road by walking," the authors say that teachers must teach in a way that gets the point across and gives specific examples out of social context, but does not impose the ideas of the teacher on the student. my question: remember a time when a favorite teacher may have imposed their ideas on you. has it affected the way you think today? For me, i had an english teacher that was a vegan and very liberal. comming out of her class, i not only inexplicaly loved Bruce Springstein, but looked at the world in a more sensitive and naturalistic way.
I guess I'll comment on Eugene's comment, which I found to be very true. In high school, it was almost a rule for teachers to prevent themselves from imposing their beliefs on their students. But I had a very liberal English teacher (who had recently moved here from Australia), and she was always trying to persuade us to follow along to her beliefs. I found it almost offensive, but I tried not to let her opinions influence mine. They definitely got me thinking a lot more though.

I finally got this to work.
