Do you teach multiple view points? or give them multiple viewpoints? A subtle difference, but an important one. Those that are against your "empathy" lessons probably interpret it as you are telling them how they show feel...you evil Obama voting liberal :) Us libertarians would never get accused of this touchy feely stuff ;)paul bogushhttp://paulbogush.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525941061387824183.post-60203209714733874652012-11-12T15:43:14.148-05:002012-11-12T15:43:14.148-05:00Mr. Kaechele,
Hello! My name is Nancy Nelson....Mr. Kaechele, <br /> Hello! My name is Nancy Nelson. I am a student in Edm 310 at the University of South Alabama. I was assigned your blog for my C4T or comment for teachers. I am required to read and comment on two of your blog post and later post on my blog a summary of your post and my comment. I found this post very interesting. I had never thought this before and now I see it. As I think back to my high school years, I was taught in a biased way. I was ignorant about so many points concerning topics that i was supposed to have learned about in high school that were being reintroduced in college. Your post has opened my eyes. I want to try and teach my students not only the general point-of-view, but the alternate point-of-view, or as you put is the views and attitudes of the winners and losers should be taught. If you would like to contact me please do so by twitter at NancyN91 and/or my blog at nelsonnancyedm310.blogspot.com.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11325000095148493238noreply@blogger.com
