I'm really torn on what to write about today. I know i should write on the article assigned for today, but i've been thinking about all of our other readings and the class as a whole. Before i dive into an article i wanted to put an "on the side" comment out there and say that i just applied to a teaching job and the teaching philosophy was SO HELPFUL when it came to that. Like i seriously can't imagine having to do one with absolutely no guidance!
Anyways back to the readings. The "Utopia" reading caught my eye instantly because utopias fascinate me! I like the thought of thus Utopian classroom and playing "the doubting game" with students. A lot of what was said in the article reminds me of how i, in theory, would like to run my classroom. I did have some questions though. It seemed like many times int he article it had a "perfect" scenario with students actively engaging. How would these scenarios play out in a classroom with students that were not engaged or resistant (i'm thinking about a lot of remedial classes where the students tend to not care already)?
