@prof_shelton Truths that seem contradictory, yet are equally true. Teaching and learning are always individual and always configured by forces beyond our control. Schools reproduce society but we can try to disrupt that. And succeed sometimes.
@prof_shelton Thanks for the book! On spring break and feeling rejuvenated/inspired by it. That myth also justifies instrumentalizing teaching and learning in a way that permits terrible decisions by teachers, admin, and policymakers. Nice to rethink a bit.
Thanks for the shout-out! If teachers’ work is solely responsible for ensuring widespread economic opportunity, then they can also blame us for poverty. That’s a win-win for neoliberals who want the economic order to continue as it is.

EP Thompson told the story of a publisher offering him £50 to write a history of the English labor movement, 1800-1945. He needed the money. He wrote *The Making of the English Working Class*, 836 pages. That was the "first chapter" of the book he was commissioned to write.
