@dezmerez I think it is still constructed this way. If you stay where there is no work you are seen as irresponsible. #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@dezmerez Yes. The old idea from march of the reserve army of labour is another metaphor. Workers are deployed where needed. #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@rachelenns1 Good question. What might it mean to use space in a gendered way? #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@ajbarry09 And yet it is shocking at the same time. This report seems a bit sloppy to me. I have only looke at it quickly. #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@dezmerez I have often had similar thoughts. In what 'place' do kids live really? #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@psuemacleod I guess this is the huge question that perhaps applies to all teaching #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@jasminehare @MsMorrin Oh my. Is uniqueness a matter of quantity ? #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@jasminehare Is there a difference? #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@dezmerez Anything can make a teacher ineffectual. If high academics means narrow egg-headedness, then yes. #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@technoWarner Yes, this perspective is a bit insular. I understand where it comes from though having worked in rural schools.#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@psuemacleod I agree with Eric. Depends on what you call opportunity. Andrew makes similar points I think.#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@ajbarry09 @Andrew26Pye Perry argues that method without content and intellectual challenge was the problem with TC. #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@ajbarry09 @Andrew26Pye Perry doesn't have much good to say about the place. He actually does bemoan the lack of theory.#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@ajbarry09 @Andrew26Pye The idea that teaching is not theoretical is a theory I suppose, a theory of deprofessionalization. #NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@Andrew26Pye There are those who will still maintain this was a mistake. Should teacher ed be in the universities?#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@shannonchatt There is a difference between split classes, one room schools and multigrade teaching. The latter is deliberate.#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@technoWarner Well, this was historically the situation well into the 1960s in some places. Rural school history isnt pretty.#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

@Chris_J_Currie This is happening Chris. The VS was founded for rural places.#NorCanRuralEd

[Michael Corbett @mcorbett0658]

And it is your teacher's art to interpret the outcomes in a way that makes sense in your context.#NorCanRuraled
