@KWest0304 @May_TEC673 @evreigh @eckm8 but then isn't it still biased on what the students choose (or don't)?

[Kelly Graber @KellyGraber6]

@evreigh @eckm8 That being said though, because education is a part of a system, that would require an entire restructuring of the system of schooling to align with anti-oppressive curriculum and pedagogy. I think they would argue it has potential at the micro rather than macro level #usfccc

@evreigh @eckm8 A6: I think they argue that up until now education has been inherently oppressive; however, in their citation of critical theory alternative and posing of implications/suggestions for teacher ed hope for an education in the future that is not. #usfccc

@evreigh Same! I saw a lot of connections between Zimmerman's metaphor and Kumashiro's argument here as well.

@evreigh A4: I think that as teachers we can model to students that we do not hold all of the knowledge and that we are constantly revising what we believe to be true and in the process constantly critiquing. In this, we can help form a classroom culture that welcomes uncertainty #usfccc

@evreigh A3. A lot is omitted from elem ed, especially around controversial topics b/c many people believe they are too mature for children. Specifically within 4th grade soc studies CA history omits the experiences of indigenous peoples & many immigrant groups. #multisubject #usfccc

A2. I can see Kumashiro's rationale for using the term "anti-oppressive" education, as the premise of their article was around critical theory's call for resistance and critique of the "known" as reactions to the oppressive nature of schooling and traditional education.

A1: Why did the student eat his homework?
Because his teacher told him it was a "piece of cake?"
