[MCP] Culture (revision)

[Katherine Johnson]

Of course we do. Some of us do it by the conscious choices we make in our curriculum, hoping to open the minds of our students and combat some of the intolerance and bigotry that they see and hear on a daily basis. I'm sure that some teachers who have views that fall on the other side of the spectrum also make conscious choices to convey their opinions upon students as well. All teaching is political, whether we want to admit it or not.

Just my two cents...

P.S. I've enjoyed reading the posts from this group over the past couple of months and decided now is the time to join the fray....be gentle with me! 8)

  To the mcp discussion group:
                                     Do you think that some teachers consciously impose their culture, in terms of beliefs, attitudes and values on their students in hope that the students would begin to think that teachers' beliefs, attitudes and values are better?
