Caitlin- good idea about using Boudin in 601 with Michelson...will give it some thought. I wrestle with these very different views of narratives and look forward to working through some of my perplexities with you in class next week!<br />Bill Muthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12295192908023335854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082226991800167507.post-13638653312677698552014-03-27T19:34:41.452-04:002014-03-27T19:34:41.452-04:00Caitlin, I never moved around as a kid, but as a t...Caitlin, I never moved around as a kid, but as a teacher, I had many students who would disappear off my roster and I never knew where they went. I'm not a fan of a nationalized curriculum; I like the fact that education is locally controlled (or at least it's supposed to be through school boards, yet an increasing number of schools are being taken over by the state) - but stories like yours remind me how difficult it must be for students to leave one school system and enter another that has a completely different curriculum. While I think this could be an enriching experience for kids by exposing them to a variety of course content, I think we most often don't bridge the gap very well and leave the kids feeling lost. :-(Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
